Associated Tropes

• Casting Gag: In Inception, inadvertently. The Piaf song Je ne regrette rien was in use before Cotillard was cast, and Nolan considered removing it, but too much of the score had already been written around it.
  • And then later, in Midnight in Paris, Cotillard plays Adrianna, a young woman who chooses to forget her own time and live in an idealized world.
• Everything Sounds Sexier in French
• Femme Fatale (a lot of her roles, most notably in A Very Long Engagment and Inception)
• Production Posse: Seems to be a recent addition to Christopher Nolan's.
