DANGEROUS LIAISONS (1988)

Dangerous Liaisons is a story based on Chonderlos de Laclos' novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses from 1782, which is full of deceit and love.  Marquise de Merteuil's (Glenn Close) ex-husband is about to remarry the young virtuous Cécile de Volanges (Uma Thurman), who was brought up inside a convent. This irritates de Merteuil so she asks Vicomte de Valmont (John Malkovich), her ex-lover, if he can help stain de Volanges virtuous reputation before the marriage.  In addition, de Valmont is offered one last night together with de Merteuil.  The final product is a pretty good English speaking film experience.
