Sounds on Screen: Femme Fatale

A musical love letter to the femme fatale, one of cinema's most enduring and complicated archetypes. The trope of the feminine interloper using her womanly charms to villainous or manipulative ends is one that predates the moving image by thousands of years – but its most famous examples are on film. Featuring music and excerpts from Dangerous Liasons, Fatal Attraction, The Love Witch, Venus in Furs, The Maltese Falcon and more. Selected and mixed by Florence Scott-Anderton.
