What happens

Femme Fatale is a 2002 neo-noir erotic thriller film written and directed by Brian De Palma. The film stars Antonio Banderas and Rebecca Romijn. It was screened out of competition at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. 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. Warner Bros. Pictures had included the film in the catalogue of Warner Archive Collection. In May 2022, Shout! Factory (under license from Warner Bros) released a special edition Blu-ray of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
