Movie Reviews of Valmont
Movie Review: Excellent directing and brilliant cast
Summary: 5 Stars
Following the success of Dangerous Liasons, this version of the same book made by Milos Forman was underservedly overlooked. Forman has done an excellent job at re-interpreting the story, and performances by Colin Firth and Annette Benning are stunning. One should not expect a re-write of Malcovich / Close story, this is a very different and equally brilliant movie, a lot softer and more refined.Movie Review: Seduced
Summary: 5 Stars
I think Valmont shines in comparison to Dangerous Liaisons. Colin Firth's charm is a much more believable ground for seduction than John Malkovich's snakiness. (Don't get me wrong here, Malkovich is a terrific actor--just not seductive.) I think this is all around a more believable cast and a more livable story. It is a wonderful period piece which I have enjoyed over and over.Movie Review: Definatively Better Than Dangerous Liasons!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish they had released this right after it was made instead of allowing DL to take all the limelight. A much better film, by far! Can you say lustfully poetic and subtley seductive? Colin Firth has more depth and is exceedingly more handsome than Malchovich could ever be. Fairuza as a mere child is already a powerful actress and ravishingly beautiful at that!
Movie Review: The best version of the story
Summary: 5 Stars
This adaption is by far my favourite, but you can look it up on imdb if you want a movie review. I'll just speak about the DVD, which looks good and sounds good. It is hurting for extras, but I suppose there either isn't enough demand or there's no one available for things like commentaries. You do get what you pay for, though-this was a great buy for its cost.Movie Review: I love Costume movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Vakmont was fun to watch. The only problem was the fact that Colin Firth's beautiful British accent fared much better than the American actors who made no effort to at least try to sound British. Perhaps it was the director's fault. But, no one on earth can sound as charming as Colin Firth, whatever he says and in whatever movie he is in.
