Femme Fatale

Using split screen, bizarre narrative twists and Ryuichi Sakamoto's great, Ravel-inspired score, De Palma gleefully turns the conventions of the dream-like neo-noir thriller on their head...

This is pure filmmaking, elegant and slippery.

...a work of pure aesthetic rapture whose sinuous camera movements are the stuff of dreams.

Mysterious women and mistaken identities, European intrigue and bloody violence, sunglasses and white scarves...

Michael Ferris and John D. Brancato have written an interesting screenplay with sympathetic characters.
