A femme fatale character is an attractive and seductive woman who captives her lovers which leads them to dangerous events. In our film Aslihan is this character as she hypnotizes men to get information of her fiance's killer. the word in french means "deadly woman" and a femme fatale tries to overcome the male with her beauty, charm and sexual charisma. femme fatales can also be villains where she can become a heroine in some narratives. examples in other films are the characters "Cat woman" and poison ivy in the batman films and xenia onatopp in "Goldeneye" who seduces men then murders them.
In this film the character displays a "femme fatale" representation because of her anger and vengeance. She does not necessarily seduce her victims, but sees herself as a victim of the people who had forced her in a mournful state. However, her attractiveness is only used as a tool to allow her to get away with her actions.
This character would be perfect for a thriller, especially a British film as this character is usually common in Hollywood films. It would be meeting the needs of its genre (thriller) because it would "thrill" the audience in the way this character works.
