Femme fatales are usually supporting characters in any crime or espionage thriller. The last femme fatale who created a lot of noise for her suave action skills and sheer beauty in a film was Ana de Armas in No Time to Die. Ever since, there have been only a handful of films and television shows that have explored this archetype. Even in the Hindi cinema space, the last interesting film that deeply explored the femme fatale was Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf. Wingwomen, whose French title is Voleuses, loosely translated to thieves, is the story of two friends who are on the verge of leaving the life of crime. This French Netflix original film, released on November 2, 2023, is based on the comic book of the same name by Florent Ruppert, Jérôme Mulot, and Christophe Deslandes and is directed by Mélanie Laurent.

Wingwomen is a movie directed by Mélanie Laurent based on the novel by Jérôme Mulot. It stars Mélanie Laurent, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Isabelle Adjani.
“Wingwomen ” is a comedy that combines action and humor and, after a somewhat hesitant start in terms of pace, gradually takes shape and structure in the cinematic sense. It is a film that knows what it’s playing and what its strengths are – a light French comedy with a touch of action, pace, and three endearing women who know how to handle themselves in a challenging world.
While the plot may not be entirely original, and it is not a role that showcases Isabelle Adjani’s talents, who is, nonetheless, the main attraction of the film and it reminds us of her recent performances.
Movie Review Wingwomen
“Wingwomen ” may not be a film that you will remember for a lifetime, nor will it be an unpleasant experience.

"Okay, it's showtime!" Netflix has dropped the full trailer for the French heist comedy called Wingwomen, the latest feature film directed by actress Mélanie Laurent (following up her films The Mad Women's Ball and Galveston previously). The film's original French title is just Voleuses, which translates to Thieves, but apparently this doesn't work as well in English - so they switched to Wingwomen. Inspired by Bastien Vivès, Jérôme Mulot and Florent Ruppert's French graphic novel "La Grande Odalisque", the film is about a gang of female expert thieves targeting high-end loot. Tired of life on the run, two expert thieves and best friends recruit feisty Sam (Bresch) to assist them with one last job — unlike any they've done before. This fun action comedy stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Mélanie Laurent, and Manon Bresch as the three main women, with Philippe Katerine, Felix Moati, and Isabelle Adjani as Marraine. Looks like it'll be entertaining.

This stylish thriller of a graphic novel (or bande dessinee) was made by three people: Bastien Vives, Florent Ruppert, and Jerome Mulot. The title of this post is styled as they are credited on the book: Vives / Ruppert + Mulot. All three are writer/artists. Ruppert and Mulot are a team who typically work together on all aspects of a story. I have no idea how they broke this down: if it were an American comic, that order would imply Vives was the writer and the other two the art team, but French credits often work in the reverse fashion.
So: the three of them did this, in some combination. If we can see a movie without worrying about what, exactly, a Director of Photography does, I think we can bring a similar equanimity to The Grand Odalisque , which is very much like a big-budget classy thriller movie on the page.

French acting icon Isabelle Adjani says she is set to co-star opposite Adèle Exarchopoulos in a Mission Impossible-style action comedy directed by Mélanie Laurent.
The feature is inspired by Bastien Vivès, Jérôme Mulot and Florent Ruppert’s French graphic novel ‘La Grande Odalisque’ about a gang of female expert thieves targeting high-end loot.
Adjani spilt the beans on the new role in an interview with the French newspaper ‘Nice Matin’ on Thursday.
“It will be a female ensemble film set between Paris and Corsica with Mélanie [Laurent] facing the camera and Adèle Exarchopoulos,” she said. “We are awaiting the reply of a fourth actress.”
She described the production as a “female Mission Impossible” adding “that is the touch of Mélanie Laurent who wants to do something out of the ordinary for France.”
Adjani is coming off a busy 2022, with credits including starring roles in François Ozon’s Fassbinder tribute and...
