The sheer pleasure of watching movies is celebrated in Brian De Palma's dazzling Femme Fatale. Working from his own intricate screenplay, De Palma indulges all of his trademark obsessions, upping the ante on Hitchcock (again) with a Vertigo-like plot that begins with an audacious heist at the Cannes film festival (another sexy, violent tour de force for De Palma). From there, the stunning thief Laure (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) assumes a new identity, marries a U.S. senator (Peter Coyote), and returns to Paris where a tenacious paparazzo (Antonio Banderas) becomes a patsy in her multilayered scheme. De Palma's weaving a web of nonsense, but his plotting is so exuberantly absurd--and his frame so full of visual clues and relevant detail--that Femme Fatale becomes a joyous thrill ride at first encounter, and a crazily logical (and grandly rewarding) movie on subsequent viewings. In her best role to date, Romijn-Stamos is everything you'd want a femme fatale to be, in a thriller that constantly challenges you to question what you're seeing. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - FEMME FATALE IS DE PALMA'S BEST IN YEARS
Without doubt FEMME FATALE is De Palma's best film in years. I bought the dvd, knowing the film didn't do well at the cinema, but so what? It doesn't mean it's a crap film! I saw the film and was knocked by it. The plot with its twists and turns, and throughout the film, the clues are there, as to what might or not might happen. Rebecca Romijn is gorgeous (I read that that Uma Thurman was mentioned for the role), but Romijn is more sexy in the part of Laura Ash. In my opinion Thurman isn't even attractive. ... Read More
Rating: - BRIAN DE PALMA, OPUS 26
***** 2002. Written and directed by Brian De Palma. A woman manipulates a photographer in order to escape her former accomplices she fooled seven years before. Another masterpiece from the American master who delivers a stunning and smart movie about dreams. Too bad that the film lost a lot of money at the box-office. Brian De Palma was given a total liberty by his producer Tarik Ben Ammar to shoot the film he wanted to present to the audience. As the director explains in one of the featurettes of the DVD, ...

Rating:  - De Palma at his most slyly stylish
It sounds like damning with faint praise to say that Femme Fatale is the best thing Brian De Palma's done in years, but it certainly is an enjoyable throwback to some of his best work. It's an exercise in pure style over logic, yet its dreamlike plotting and abundance of absurd plot twists is much more seductively enjoyable than it has any right to be. By the time one of the villains emerges from prison in the same blood-stained tuxedo we last saw him in seven years earlier, it's pretty clear gritty realism ... Read More

Bean-Bean this one for you.
Thanks to R.A. Bean aka:Depalama's #1 I have the opportunity to wrap myself around this wonderful film. Femme fatale seems to be in vogue and a fascination with so many contemporary filmmakers. And when connected with heists and sexual acts, Brian DePalma does have a great flair for making his `femme fatale' intriguingly stylish and mysterious - especially when she slips into two personalities with a touch of Hitchcockian appeal.
DePalma's cinematic approach ... Read More
