The paper aims to show the extent to which the female protagonists of Isabella Santacroce’s novels are the realizations of the symbolic image of the fille fatale, present in the culture, literature and art of the twentieth century. The characters created by Isabella Santacroce seem to be eternally at the age of transition between the childhood and adulthood. Their beauty is irregular, disturbing, ambiguous and sometimes demonic. As well as the nymphs, last larval stage, they are fascinating, attractive and dangerous at the same time, as the harmless destructiveness is their main trait. Between the others versions of the twentieth-century fille fatale, the Santacroce’s female protagonists are definitely more libertine, what seems to be Tondelli’s heritage.

This article deals with the issue of ‘absent corporealness’, as shown in the movie Sedmikrásky (Daisies) by Věra Chytilová. The director deconstructs the concept of femme (and fille) fatale, showing femininity that releases itself from the control of male phantasms by breaking the taboos and balancing on edge of what is acceptable or not. Corporealness and the world shown in the movie are being deconstructed, but also presented as a destructive factor. Heroines transgress from a world that they perceive to be ‘corrupt’ and meaningless, a world, where a gesture has lost its original meaning.
