39!!Associated Tropes
40* CastingGag: [[invoked]]
41** In ''Film/{{Inception}}'', inadvertently. Music/EdithPiaf's song "Non, je ne regrette rien" was in use before Marion was cast, and Nolan considered removing it, but too much of the score had already been written around it.
42** And then later, in ''Film/MidnightInParis'', Marion played Adrianna, a young woman who chooses to forget her own time and live in an idealized world. Like Mal in ''Film/{{Inception}}''.
43* DeathGlare: You might think that someone as cute as her won't be able to execute one. [[http://i.imgur.com/MMTCL.jpg She can, and she did]].
44* FakeNationality: [[invoked]] Plays a Canadian news anchor in ''Film/Anchorman2TheLegendContinues''.
45* FakeMixedRace: [[invoked]] Plays a part Native American in ''Film/PublicEnemies''.
46* FemmeFatale: A lot of her roles, most notably in ''Film/AVeryLongEngagement'', ''Film/{{Inception}}'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
47* MsFanservice: She's very beautiful, and isn't shy at all about nudity or sex scenes in her films.
48* NotSoSmallRole: Miranda Tate in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', an original character with no connection whatsoever to the comics? Nice try. [[spoiler: She's [[CanonCharacterAllAlong actually Talia al Ghul]]]].
49* ProductionPosse: [[invoked]]
50** Her boyfriend Creator/GuillaumeCanet often casts her in the movies he directs.
51** She appeared in two Creator/ChristopherNolan movies.
52** She appeared alongside Creator/MichaelFassbender in ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' and ''[[Film/AssassinsCreed2016 Assassin's Creed]]''. Both were directed by Justin Kurzel.
53* StarMakingRole: In France, the ''Film/{{Taxi}}'' films made her name known and ''Film/AVeryLongEngagement'' earned her major recognition with a César award for Best Supporting Actress. Internationally, the role of Music/EdithPiaf in ''Film/LaVieEnRose'' brought her plenty of awards and Hollywood noticed her as a result.
