Femme Fatales: Contemporary:

Catherine Tramell: Basic Instinct 1992:

Sharon Stonne plays femme fatale Catherine Tramell in this movie. From this trailer we see many things to suggest her femme fatale role e.g. phallic symbols such as cigarette, sitting posture, dress sense etc. From this we can see that she is portrayed as a stereotypical femme fatale.

Suzanne Stone: To Die For 1995:
In this movie Nicole Kidman plays Suzanne Stone, a womeen willing to do anything to get to the top. In the trailer she is seen as a "temptress" which is anchored by shots of her having sex with men and dancing seductivly. Being portrayed as a negative character using others, she is automatically cast under the light of being a femme fatale.
