Beautiful people, costuming and design and John Malkovich…
A beautiful and nuanced story done justice by the powerhouse of a cast.
What can I say? Dangerous Liaisons is at the summit of films I revere. Beauty, wit, opulence, seduction, comedy, tragedy. It has everything.
Great cast with great chemistry in this period adaptation of a classic
This movie went "Damn, both of you are wickedly deceiving" to "oh shit!!" 😳 *sips tea*
Based on a literary classic, Well done except Malkovitch is so homely, hard to imagine he'd seduce anybody.
Everyone is so damm young!!! it’s such a good movie, John Malkovich and Glenn Close play SO well of each other. it’s a great watch
The pure evil that reflects from this movie is portrayed in a great talent by all leads. Super intelligent directed
Que de bonne performances dans une adaptation qui va a l'essentiel c'est a dire les acteurs.
Great adaption of French tragedy novel. Fabulous American casting - wicked vs. naive. Splendid cinematography and costumes.

Once he arrives at training camp for his 13-week officer's course, Mayo runs afoul of abrasive, no-nonsense drill Sergeant Emil Foley.
