Movie Reviews of Dangerous Liaisons
Movie Review: Dangerous Liasions
Summary: 5 Stars
Dangerous Liaisons I have seen this movie before and decided to buy it for my library. I like historic movies that have bite and this one has it. First of all, the actors are superb in the roles they play. Everyone romanticizes the 17th, early 18th century. An era of fancy dressed men and pompadour women of the elite class. The ideaology of the time, the mind-set, and philosphy of those times is starkly portrayed. Not so romantic in the reality of false and rediculous etiquette and values.
Summary of Dangerous Liaisons
The biting satire about love and lust passion and deception includes directors commentary. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 04/03/2001 Starring: Glenn Close John Malkovich Run time: 120 minutes Rating: R Director: Stephen FrearsA sumptuously mounted and photographed celebration of artful wickedness, betrayal, and sexual intrigue among depraved 18th-century French aristocrats, Dangerous Liaisons (based on Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses) is seductively decadent fun. The villainous heroes are the Marquise De Merteuil (Glenn Close) and the Vicomte De Valmont (John Malkovich), who have cultivated their mutual cynicism into a highly developed and exquisitely mannered form of (in-)human expression. Former lovers, they now fancy themselves rather like demigods whose mutual desires have evolved beyond the crudeness of sex or emotion. They ritualistically act out their twisted affections by engaging in elaborate conspiracies to destroy the lives of their less calculating acquaintances, daring each other to ever-more-dastardly acts of manipulation and betrayal. Why? Just because they can; it's their perverted way of getting get their kicks in a dead-end, pre-Revolutionary culture. Among their voluptuous and virtuous prey are fair-haired angels played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman, who have never looked more ripe for ravishing. When the Vicomte finds himself beset by bewilderingly genuine emotions for one of his victims, the Marquise considers it the ultimate betrayal and plots her heartless revenge. Dangerous Liaisons is a high-mannered revel for the actors, who also include Swoosie Kurtz, Mildred Natwick, and Keanu Reeves. --Jim Emerson
