Olivier Assayas’ 1996 movie Irma Vep made its world premiere at Cannes, and 26 years later he’s back with an eight-part limited series of the same name.

Changing Prospero from male to female in her adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest is another example, if not quite as successful, but now her unconventional and…
