Movie Reviews of Valmont
Movie Review: Alexis wouldn't wear that rag!
Summary: 1 Stars
Yuck! Pe-tewy! What an tacky mess!
Ugly to look at. No hint that anyone understands the 18th century. What a disaster! Milos just doesn't get what a period film should be. He needs to stick with modern times. [He couldn't even do a convincing 1960s in "Hair"].
Now I'm not talking about [just] period accuracy; I'm talking about understanding the attitudes and ideas behind a work written long ago. If you don't understand these, you end up with "Dynasty" in corsets and wigs.
All the actors, except Sian Philips, are consistently annoying and completely unconvincing....as are the locations and costumes. It's almost as bad and as tacky as "Amadeus"! [In reality, nothing could be....but "Valmont" is close.]
It is a period film for those who don't like period films. Why not just do it in modern times? Because then it REALLY would be just another episode of "Dynasty".
Stick with "Dangerous Liaisons"....which has a few flaws but which is wholly convincing and beautiful. "DL" seems to take place in the world of adults living in the 18th century. "Valmont" come across as a college prank film... "Animal House" in wigs!
Yuck. Pe-tewy!
