Show Notes
The cat suit was an aesthetic concept first ideated by the french filmmaker and actress Musidora. Since that first inception in 1915, many a movie heroine (or villainess) has donned the black, skin-tight image we come to see in IRMA VEP. But to focus on the physical beauty of its star (Maggie Cheung), is to miss the point (if not entirely).
