    Editorial Reviews

    Adapted for stage and screen several times over the past century, French author Francois Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel Les Liasons Dangeureuses was the basis for this Academy Award-winning Stephen Frears film. The plot is motivated by a cruel wager between the beautiful but debauched Marquise de Merteuil (Glenn Close) and her misogynistic former lover, the Vicomte de Valmont (John Malkovitch). The Marquise challenges Valmont to seduce the virginal Cecile de Volanges (Uma Thurman) before the girl can be wed. Valmont offers a more difficult counter-challenge: He bets the Marquise that he will be able to bed the very moral and very married Madame de Tourvel (Michelle Pfeiffer). In the course of carrying out his plan, Valmont is stricken with a sudden case of honor and remorse, while the Marquise becomes all the more vicious. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    April 24, 2005: What a deliciously wicked film! Every act of that evil creature, the Marquise de Merteuil, played by the supremely confident Glenn Close as mercurial, venomous and oh, so dangerous, screams "Wicked..!" John Malkovich complements her extremely well as Vicomte Valmont, her longtime cohort and partner-in-arms who seeks to preserve his nasty reputation as a heedless ravager but finds his reserve breached by the angelic Madame de Tourvel(an astonishing turn by Michelle Pfeiffer, who is outstanding as a woman deeply in conflict with the morals and beliefs she holds so dear as she finds herself unable to resist the wolflike Valmont). The schemers were lovers once; do they seek to ruin others merely to consider themselves worthy of the other? Do they lack the courage to own their passion but instead channelise it to betray that of others? Watch Close, in a telling and chilling sequence, refuse to be upped by the vengeful Valmont. Savour the sumptuous dialogue, beautiful sets and costumes and wallow in deceit and duplicity with these debauched characters. "You'll find the shame is like the pain: you only feel it once"- Close to Thurman. Absolutely not to be missed!!
