Movie Reviews of Dangerous Liaisons (200-Minute Version in English)
Movie Review: Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Summary: 5 Stars
Enjoyed immensely. Had seen the versions with Glenn Close, Jean Morreau and Annette Bening, as well as the opera composed by Conrad Suza and performed at the San Francisco Opera with Frederica von Stade. It is interesting how well all versions were adapted to the original. I even saw the play in London and recently in New York. I feel the lead roles are truly villainous.....and I love seeing revenge take its course when the bad person gets it in the end. This plot is great fun. I feign from seeing the US teen versions Cruel Intentions which number three movies, but I may give in someday and watch them.
Summary of Dangerous Liaisons (200-Minute Version in English)
Jos?e Dayan's latest adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' classic tale of seduction, betrayal and revenge features an all-star cast including Catherine Deneuve, Rupert Everett, Nastassja Kinski and Leelee Sobieski, and is set in the world of 1960s Parisian high society.This visually sumptuous adaptation of the classic French novel of seduction, betrayal, and revenge stars the great Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion, Belle de Jour) as the scheming Madame de Meurteuil, who--to get back at a man who spurned her for a younger woman--persuades her equally amoral friend Valmont (Rupert Everett, My Best Friend's Wedding) to seduce the young woman in question. Thus begins one of the most intricate and hypnotic plots every orchestrated; it's no wonder Les Liaisons Dangereuses has been adapted into film so many times. This 2003 French miniseries starts with cars, costumes, and music from the early 20th century, then rapidly becomes more modern. More stylish than passionate; still, the villainous orchestrations will suck you in. Also featuring Nastassja Kinski (Tess, Cat People), Leelee Sobieski (The Glass House), and Danielle Darrieux (8 Women). Jean-Paul Gaultier costumed Deneuve. --Bret Fetzer
