Description
VALMONT is director Milos Formans witty and playful adaptation of Choderlos de Lacloss famous novel LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES about the sexual machinations of two jaded 18th-century French aristocrats. In order to get revenge on the man who jilted her the wicked Marquise de Merteuil (Annette Bening) persuades a former lover the rakish Vicomte de Valmont (Colin Firth) to deflower the mans virginal young fiancée. Valmont agrees but presents the marquise with his own challenge If he succeeds in seducing Madame de Tourvel (Meg Tilly) a virtuous young wife known for her unshakable fidelity the marquise must grant Valmont a night in bed. The cold-blooded twosome proceeds gleefully with their heartless scheme until true love unexpectedly alters the course of events. Look for a great bathtub scene. The film was co-written artfully for the screen by Milos Forman and Jean-Claude Carriere and set like a gem in the visually emphatic Baroque period.
