REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 14-May-2006)

This the most cruel version of seduction in an imaginary world of glitter and glammer. The dialogues between Glenn Close (Marquise de Merteuil) and John Malkovich (Vicomte de Valmont) are absolutly cutting on the edge of morality of that time. You can so enjoy the expressions of Mrs. Close and Mr. Malkovich during the movie while they dare the entire society into there seduction games. Whilst in the beginning, working as partners when Valmont has to seduce Cecile de Volange, the bride to be of the Marquise's ex-husband, this evolves in a "war" between the former partners. The end was so satisfactory, when the Marquise entered the opera and is 'boooed' out by the entire auditorium, this is the end of her cruel games and the end of her life in the society. The devilness and cruelty of the Marquise and the vicomte, the innosence of Cecile (Uma Thurman), the purity of Mdme de Tourvel (Michelle Pfeiffer) and the meddling mother of Cecile, Mdme De Volanges (Swoosie Kurtz) make of this movie something you must see. Watch with your own eyes how cruel people can amuse themselves by letting other moral people betray themselves in a society where respect and morality are high standards. If you did not see this, get up and buy or hire this at one!
