Veronica is brilliant, gifted and beautiful, but the handsome aristocrat she loves, Marco Venier, cannot marry her because she is penniless and of questionable family. So Veronica's mother, Paola, teaches her to become a courtesan, one of the exotic companions favored by the richest and most powerful Venetian men. Veronica courageously uses her charms to change destiny -- and to give herself a chance at true love.

One of my fave movies. Just so lush and beautiful!

Great movie for understanding the past in Venice for woman

Nice movie amazing preference you won’t get bored

Not actually that sexy for a film about sex and power. I feel like there could have been a lot more intrigue and lot less romance.

The costumes are nice, I guess. The plot ends up being completely absurd if you think about it only a little bit. Waste of a good cast.

In some way interesting but did expert more from it.

Syrupy tale of courtesan romanticizes the power that sexuality gives her. Ignores the dark side of her profession. Some witty dialogue.

A delicious costume drama. Under the radar and should be better known!

Dangerous Beauty captures a feeling that is beyond this world and wraps it into a true story with beautiful scenery, music, and costumes.

Best story ever
