Femme Fatale
- She represents a better life: wealthy/ beautiful / intelligent & illusive
- E.g. 'Basic Instinct'
- Dougals risks his life for Stone, knowing she is a murder suspect just to satisfy his obssession with her.
- E.g. LA Confidential
- Basinger is a "victim" of her own beauty, luring Bud into a sexual relationship them betraying him by having a sexual encounter with his fellow detective Ed, photographed by another character to use for blackmail.
Noir Sex
- Protagonist lusts over femme fatale - obssession
- New Noirs - feature more highly erotic 'love scenes'
- Proffessional objectives of the protagonist are compromised (E.g. Basic Instinct -Stone teases Douglas through questioning - distracted away from professional/ obessession over next sexual encounter.
