The femme fatale occupies a precarious yet highly visible space in
contemporary cinema. From sci-fi alien women to teenage bad girls,
filmmakers continue to draw on the notion of the sexy deadly woman
in ways which traverse boundaries of genre and narrative. This book
charts the articulations of the femme fatale in American cinema of
the past twenty years, and contends that, despite her problematic
relationship with feminism, she offers a vital means for reading
the connections between mainstream cinema and representations of
female agency. The films discussed raise questions about the limits
and potential of positioning women who meet highly normative
standards of beauty as powerful icons of female agency. They point
towards the constant shifting between patriarchal appropriation and
feminist recuperation that inevitably accompanies such
representations within mainstream media contexts.
