CELINE by Hedi Slimane dress, complete with hair carefully shaped into a structural fringe adorned with floating pearls, actor Devon Ross looked every bit the consummate Hollywood superstar as she floated up the Cannes red carpet and into the premiere for mini-series Irma Vep, in which she stars. To watch her on this momentous occasion, you'd never know she'd not done this a thousand times before and that this was not just first proper premiere, but also her inauguration into the acting world. While you won't have seen her on the big screen yet, you'll likely still recognise her face.
The 22-year-old has already had an extensive modelling career, walking and posing (and in the case of a one particular campaign video, wafting and dancing) for the likes of Simone Rocha, Erdem, Valentino and Valentino Beauty. Her striking look - something of a goth-punk pixie vibe, all alluring sunken eyes, high cheekbones and raven-black cropped hair - draws the eye even in a show with dozens of other models. But even with a spray of high fashion brands baying for her to join their next shows, Ross' attention is currently laser focussed on her new foray into TV and film.
'I would love to just do acting full time,' she tells me from her hotel room, the morning after the night before. 'I'm just looking forward to getting deeper into the acting world. I'm looking forward to the next one.
I'm auditioning and starting a new career. 'I ask what she'd like to be the seminal role of this new career and she doesn't miss a beat with her answer: 'I want to play Patti Smith, that is my ideal role. ' Shout out to any casting directors reading this, you heard the woman.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“Deep down, you are an outlaw yourself,” a director tells his leading lady. “It’s what we share.” His star thanks him, taking the remark as a compliment, but insists she’s nowhere as daring as the character she’s tasked with playing.This moment, in the first episode of HBO’s new series “Irma Vep,” is tossed-off and casual; the actors playing auteur and actress, Vincent Macaigne and Alicia Vikander, are believably weary, film-industry warriors just trying to get through the conversation, and the day.
You’d think it’d be near impossible for Olivier Assayas to add any more meta-textual layers to his 1996 masterpiece, “Irma Vep,” which followed a fictional film crew in their attempts to remake the (real) 1916 movie serial “Les Vampires” by Louis Feuillade. Assayas’ solution? To remake his own remake, but this time as a limited series.
If it feels like the sheer volume of noteworthy television has been overwhelming so far this year, that trend continues going into the summer months. Both new and returning shows are given an equal spotlight, with fan anticipation for series such as “The Umbrella Academy,” “The Boys,” and “Westworld” at all-time highs considering the long wait in between seasons.

CANNES – To be frank, it’s hard to explain Olivier Assayas‘ impressive new limited series “Irma Vep” with a simple logline. It’s primarily about a modern-day movie star, Mira (Alicia Vikander), who is starring in a new limited series inspired by the classic French silent film “Les Vampires” which also inspired a 1997 film, “Irma Vep.” In the HBO series, the director (Vincent Lacoste), is remaking his own movie of “Irma Vep” into a limited series, just like Assayas is in real life.

When cinema is your life, cinema can hurt. “Time doesn’t heal,” Tom Sturridge says about the scars that mark us in Olivier Assayas’ beguiling and fascinating new HBO limited-series version of “Irma Vep.” “Time just buries pain, but the wounds remain.” This eloquent twist on a platitude could perfectly encapsulate Assayas’ director’s statement.
