The femme fatale in this clip shows her role through character dialogue. Frankie says the money won't leave without him. She then though the voice over explains her plan to stop his death...so she can get the money.
In the mise en scene, Margot's is wearing a funeral costume including a veil which sigifies a innocent widow. However there is binary opposition as the colour black signifies evil, which could represent her femme fatale charater role. This contrasts with her glamourous costume in the resturant scene wth a combination of top lighting, which signifies her sex appeal to the male characters and audiences.
Margot takes on the stereotypical role of a femme fatale who plans the crime and gets a male accomplice to do the work. She is the voice over in the clip with challenges film noir conventions of male voice overs. This could also signify her female dominance.
