Femme Fatale

Femme Fatale (2002) is Brian De Palma's neo-noir thriller, free to watch online on iFILM. A world-class con artist pulls off a brazen diamond heist on the red carpet at Cannes, then vanishes into thin air.

Seven years later, Laure Ash resurfaces in Paris under a borrowed identity, married to an American diplomat. The past stays buried until a tabloid photographer named Nicolas (Antonio Banderas) snaps her picture for a sleazy magazine. Suddenly her old partners in crime know exactly who she is and where to find her. Rebecca Romijn plays a woman whose every move is a gamble, where you can never tell calculation from fate.

De Palma builds the film like a hall of mirrors, stacked with doubles, dreams and his trademark slow-burning long takes that nod to Hitchcock. Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote the score. Stream Femme Fatale (2002) online on iFILM.
