Film Deaths[]
- Pretty Things (Les jolies choses) (2001) [Marie/Lucie]: Playing a dual role as twin sisters, "Lucie" commits suicide by jumping out of a window. ("Marie" survives the movie.)
- Love Me If You Dare (2003) [Sophie Kowalsky]: Commits suicide, along with Guillaume Canet, by allowing themselves to be buried in wet cement at a construction site. The scene cuts from them embracing in the cement to a scene showing elderly versions of them (Nathalie Nattier and Robert Willar) in a nursing home, then cuts back to the cement. It's left up to the viewer's interpretation as to which version of their fate is reality and which is fantasy.
- A Very Long Engagement (Un long dimanche de fiançailles) (2004) [Tina Lombardi]: Executed by the guillotine.
- Fair Play (2006) [Nicole]: Drowned during a canyoning expedition with office colleagues after she gets her foot stuck between rocks as the water level of the river keep rising up.
- La Vie en rose (La Mome; Edith Piaf; The Fabulous Life of Edith Piaf) (2007) [Edith Piaf]: Dies of cancer.
- Inception (2010) [Mal Cobb]: Commits suicide by jumping from a ledge (believing she's trapped in a dream), as her husband (Leonardo DiCaprio) looks on in horror, a few years before the story begins; her death is shown in a flashback. She also dies in a number of dream worlds: she is shot by Leonardo after she shoots Cillian Murphy; she is shot by Ellen Page after she stabs Leonardo; and she and Leonardo commit suicide by laying on the track in front of an oncoming train in order to wake up.
- The Dark Knight Rises (2012) [Miranda Tate a.k.a. Talia al Ghul]: Fatally injured when her truck crashes; she dies shortly afterwards while talking to Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, and Gary Oldman.

Her body is later seen in bed, and her death is confirmed when her husband (Michael Fassbender) is informed of her passing.
