Dangerous Liaisons Blu-ray

Description: The 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons, directed by Stephen Frears, is one of the most acclaimed adaptations of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's novel. Set in 18th-century France, it tells the story of betrayal, seduction, and moral corruption within the aristocracy. The screenplay, written by Christopher Hampton, is based on his own stage adaptation of the novel, and it remains remarkably faithful to Laclos's original text and themes.Key CastGlenn Close as the Marquise de MerteuilJohn Malkovich as the Vicomte de ValmontMichelle Pfeiffer as Madame de TourvelUma Thurman as Cécile de VolangesKeanu Reeves as Chevalier DancenyPlot The film follows the Marquise de Merteuil and her former lover, the Vicomte de Valmont, two aristocrats who engage in a dangerous game of seduction and manipulation. Merteuil, angered by the engagement of her former lover to the young and innocent Cécile de Volanges, enlists Valmont to seduce her as revenge. At the same time, Valmont aims to seduce the pious Madame de Tourvel, known for her religious devotion and morality. As Valmont and Merteuil continue to manipulate those around them, their own complex relationship turns increasingly toxic and ultimately destructive.Themes The film delves deeply into themes of power, control, and the darker side of human relationships. Merteuil and Valmont's twisted "game" underscores a critical look at the rigid social structures and moral hypocrisies of the era. The movie also explores how gender and class dynamics influence the characters' motivations and relationships.Condition: Our DVDs are from our personal collection from over the years and are in very good to like new condition.
