Femme Fatale is a 2002 erotic thriller film[2][3] written and directed by Brian De Palma. The film stars Antonio Banderas and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. It was screened out of competition at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.[4]

Upon its release, Femme Fatale received mixed reviews from film critics and became a box office flop. However, the film has since been better received by many critics and gradually regarded as a cult classic.[5][6][7][8] Warner Bros. had included the film in the catalogue of Warner Archive Collection.[9] In May 2022, Shout! Factory (under license from Warner Bros) released a special edition Blu-ray of the film.[10]
