	Femme Films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Femme Films is a production company which produces pornographic films aimed at an audience of women and couples.
		The company is headed by former adult actress Candida Royalle, who directs and produces most of the films, but does not appear in front of the camera.
		The films are regularly praised by counselors and therapists for depicting healthy and realistic sexual activity.

	No Place for a Woman: The Femme Fatale
		Moreover, there is clearly an impetus in film noir to transgress the boundaries of this circle; for the presence of husbands on crutches or in wheelchairs (Double Indemnity, Lady from Shanghai) suggests that impotence is somehow a normal component of the married state.
		In the final scene of the film, the camera reveals the full visual power of the murdered femme fatale — the detective's entire apartment is filled with her photographs in a shrine to his obsession.
		In the majority of noir films, however, the femme fatale remains committed to her independence, seldom allowing herself to be converted by the hero or captured by the police.

	H. Witthöft: Review of Wager, Dangerous Dames
		The author asserts that both types of film are not as focused on the male experience as argued in previous studies, but rather that they provide "stories that address a female spectator by providing her with various visual and narrative pleasures" (xiv).
		Although she clearly interprets the films from a female point of view, in order to call her analysis feminist her findings would need to be a little more radical, and there should be more references to feminist scholarship.
		Though it is certainly necessary to see both the femme fatale and the femme attrapée in relation to the male hero in order to define their roles adequately, there seems to be so much discourse devoted to the male that it detracts from the female characters who should be the center of attention.

	Femme Fatale review
		With Femme Fatale, Brian de Palma proposes an amused exercise in style, bright fireworks that voraciously embrace all the clichés of the genre and officiate as a parodied and baroque homage.
		The film is clearly a visual departure from its predecessors, as aesthetics here are relegated to the background to better concentrate on the screen-writing "tricks".
		If Femme Fatale seems like a superficial film with simple dialogue, caricatured characters and unequal casting, it is precisely that the film likens itself to that which it mocks, showing off as an erotic Hitchcockian soap opera that flirts with press "people".

	DVD Review: Femme Fatale (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Femme Fatale is director Brian DePalma's attempt at a classic film noir with a modern twist.
		Femme Fatale is filled with enough twists and turns to keep the casual movie viewer interested, but it also acts as an homage to the noir films, with both literal references (Double Indemnity plays on a TV) and suggested references of noir through shot composition and costume.
		The film wasn't a hit at all, so it was nice that they devoted so much attention to the making of the film.

	Film Noir's Progressive Portrayal of Women, by John Blaser
		Film noir's portrayal of the femme fatale, therefore, would seem to support the existing social order — and particularly its rigidly defined gender roles — by building up the powerful, independent woman, only to punish her in the end.
		[T]here is clearly an impetus in film noir to transgress the boundaries of this circle [of family relations]; for the presence of husbands on crutches or in wheelchairs (Double Indemnity, Lady from Shanghai) suggests that impotence is somehow a normal component of the married state.
		If it is true that the audience for film noir is less interested in the what than in the how — more interested in character than in plot — then the resolution of the plot with the destruction of the femme fatale is far less significant than the independence and power of the femme fatale.

		Visualising "Femme Fatale" De Palma reveals in this featurette that for years he's wanted to stage a film where a femme fatale would be involved in a heist.
		"Femme Fatale": An Appreciation The filming of the movie is covered in some depth here, especially the Cannes scene, which was a reconstruction of the real thing.
		De Palma naturally had to get some of his trademark long and slow panning shots into the film, and one of these is dissected in some detail.

	Godard: Woman is a Woman
		Une femme est une femme is an anti-musical, in which all the conventions of the genre are subverted: the actors fail to perform professionally as singers or dancers, the scenes take place in real, noisy bistros, a dreary newsagents and a cramped apartment rather than sumptuous sets (though filmed on set).
		The disruption of conventional style is the film's hallmark, to the point of irritation for some viewers all of the time and probably for all viewers some of the time.
		On film all this is completely without explanation, and the Karina-Brialy argument in fact takes place on the stairs rather than in the apartment, as if Godard could not make up his mind whether to use the farce element or not, or thought it did not matter.

	High Heels on Wet Pavement
		To me the most engaging semblance of a “femme fatale” is the stunning image of Lana Turner, as the camera pans from her ankles upward in that breathtaking shot from “The Postman Always Rings Twice” 1946.
		The undercurrent that flows through most “high noir” films is the failure on the part of the male leads to recognize the dishonesty inherent in many of noir’s principal women.
		The central figures portrayed in these films, were too often caught in their double binds, filled with existential bitterness.

		While many films about or from Vietnam deal with the imposing spectre of war that has ravaged that country, Tran only alluded to this aspect of the identity of his birth place using his personal brand of delicate and subtle references.
		In total opposition to his first film, Tran created a brutal and harsh story of the effects of violence and poverty on a struggling family in the city of Saigon.
		His films celebrated the joys of the colonial charm of Hanoi and the horrors of street existence in Ho Chi Min City.

		There are four films in the Delinquent Girl series starring Reiko Oshida who is kind of the prototypical modern bad girl.
		Femme Fatales celebrates the alluring women of film, television and pop culture with more sexy photos per page than any magazine of its kind on the market.

	Femme Fatale (2002) Movie Review by Shaun Sages at The Movie Insider
		But once understanding what direction the film is headed towards, this sexually-fueled playpen of mistaken identities, infatuations, and double-crosses becomes one of the year’s guiltiest of pleasures.
		Femme Fatale features such a decadent opening sequence, it had to be set during the Cannes film festival.
		As lead, Stamos carries the film by demanding our attention; and she succeeds in capturing it not through strutting her rail-thin body, but by being in command of the story almost as much as De Palma is.

	Trinity Films
		We kick things off with Mike Nichols' The Graduate (1967), a film that caused a generation to look back at the hypocrisy of their parents and to reject the vapid consumerism that that older generation represented.
		The kids, of course, turned to drugs and wanton sex, which in turn caused their children to become straight-laced and to embrace the Reagan-Thatcher revolution of the early eighties.
		Well, you could end of with a film by Crispin Glover but that being said, Cuckoo's Nest is a brilliant movie from a time when cinematic gems were the norm and whose quiet grace still pays dividends for those willing to seek out such thoughtful fare.

	CityBeat: Devil Girl (2002-11-07)
		Femme Fatale is not a simple story like De Palma's 1987 film The Untouchables, and its tale of U.S. Treasury agent Elliot Ness bringing Al Capone to justice in 1930s Chicago.
		Femme Fatale is all about the shot -- the clever shots De Palma stages with the camera and the gunshots that fill the screen.
		The film's finale is clichéd and disappointing, a joke on the audience who believe they have been watching a real-life thriller.

	european-films.net - review: La femme de Gilles (Gilles' Wife) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The title of Frédéric Fonteyne's La femme de Gilles has enclosed in it the heart of the film, since femme in French means both wife and more generically woman.
		I wonder why the distributor has decided to translate it as wife rather than woman: In a film about a wife dealing with her husband’s infatuation with her sister (who initially responds favourably) this ambiguity about who really is Gilles’ woman seems entirely appropriate.
		With her at the centre of the film, La femme the Gilles must be one of the quietest motion pictureS in recent memory.

	La Femme de mon pote (My Best Friend's Girl)
		The ménage-à-trois situation is a recurring theme in director Bertrand Blier’s deliciously subversive filmography and it is always interesting to compare the different way he approaches the subject in his films, from the outrageously farcical Tenue de soirée to the intensely brooding Trop belle pour toi.
		La Femme de mon pote is the closest Blier comes to a traditional French romantic comedy and is, for that reason, the least interesting of his angst-ridden three-in-a-bed romps.
		Huppert’s beauty and sensual femininity are rarely as fully utilised as they are in this film, making it a treat for her fans, although some will doubtless lament the fact that her role doesn’t really allow her to stretch her acting skills too far.

		The bleakness of the agencies headquarters is emphasized with widely composed two shots, while the tension during some of the action sequences is maintained not only with effective scripting, but by decisive editing to hold the suspense.
		Serra's score greatly enhances the mood of the film (as they do in Besson's other films), and while the story arc is satisfying, it is not always as expected.
		As this is a French film, my first concern is the difference in that soundtrack, and this release is equal to or better than the previous Pioneer release, which had a discrete 4.0 track.
