Femme Fatale
In 2002, after a series of high profile, big budget studio thrillers, Brian De Palma returned to his more intimate and provocative roots with this through-the-looking-glass sex caper starring the ravishing Rebecca Romijn and good-natured ladykiller Antonio Banderas. There are more twists and turns to the plot than a game of Mousetrap but, as with many other De Palma confections like The Fury, it’s his luxuriously hypnotic technique that rules the day.
