Movie Reviews of Dangerous Liaisons
Movie Review: perhaps one of the finest movies i have ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
The casting in this film is remarkable. Placing John Malkovich as Valmont was ingenious. Despite the fact that he does not have convential good looks, one can easily see why he might be irresistable. By the end of the movie, the viewer is so intrigued by the character, that he becomes the sexiest man in the world. Michelle Pfifer also puts in a great performance - just the right blend of innocence, strength, and inevidably weakness. In addition, Glenn Close put in her best performance ever. If you have never seen it, by all means, go rent it. you will be amazed.Movie Review: Immorality inside the French aristocracy of XVIII century
Summary: 5 Stars
Vicomte de Valmont (John Malkovich) appears to be the ultimate libertarian in an aristocratic society that would not even tolerate thinking about sex.Seducing is a game, a way of life, for him and Marquise de Merteuil (Glenn Close). Their complicity is the background of a diabolic plan involving seduction of young Cecile de Volanges (Uma Thurman).
While some people will be stopped by the scandalous and sulfurous aspects of such a film, others will appreciate the magnificent French style of the XVIIIth and the fine play of the actors. Really gorgeous!
Movie Review: Delicious!
Summary: 5 Stars
The sumptuous costumes and backdrop go without saying. I love John Malkovich, and he does not disappoint in this role. Glenn Close was also good. I found Keanu Reeves' and Uma Thurman's performances both to be a bit 'weak'. But for me, it was (surprisingly to me) Michelle Pfeiffer who really stood out. Before she gives in to the advances of John's character, you can completely FEEL her pain...that pain of wanting someone so badly...the physical desire...and feeling that you cannot have it. You can see it in her eyes...her mouth...Movie Review: Dangerous Liasons
Summary: 5 Stars
"Liaisons" had been filmed before (Roger Vadim did a modern-day version in 1960) and would be again (1989's "Valmont" and 1999's "Cruel Intentions"), but this is the best of the lot, boasting a lush production, and a deliciously wicked performance from Close. Malkovich, though not handsome enough for the Valmont role, injects a sly, predatory sexuality that compensates nicely. Pfeiffer has never been better (or prettier), and watch for the vision of budding womanhood that is Uma Thurman. A clever, eye-filling treat.Movie Review: Ok... it was good.
Summary: 5 Stars
Brillant costuming, brillant acting, and just plain good. Talk about the dynamics of spite and revenege based on the exploitation of innocence and sexuality... The only disappointment was with the 5.1 soundtrack... it could have been much better. But, in all fairness, music was probably not considered to be showcased in this movie. Although it was ripe for it. An excellently portrayed escapade. Didn't these people ever have health problems from their promiscuity?
