Movie Reviews of Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) (200-Minute Version in French)
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 Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) (200-Minute Version in French)
The beautiful Madame de Merteuil (Deneuve) seeks vengeance when her ex-lover tells her that he is now engaged to her young goddaughter, C?cile (Sobieski). She turns to her partner-in-crime, Valmont (Everett), famous for his reputation as a Don Juan to seduce C?cile. Valmont gets sidetracked when he goes to visit his aunt and falls for Madame Tourvel (Kinski), a virtuous, married woman who knows of his womanizing ways, but that only makes the challenge more exciting to Valmont. Together, Madame de Merteuil and Valmont make a dangerous team and they will stop at nothing when it comes to matters of the heart.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
