Dangerous Liaisons (Les Liaisons Dangereuses)

"For a story about horrible people, it’s surprisingly toothless, a bland and predictable mush..."

"The film’s energy is most colorful in its corners, where minor characters dance in blue mohawks and romp around make-out parties dressed like mermaids and nuns."

"(In this modern setting) it’s no longer possible to think of the Marquise and the Vicomte as embodiments of the ancien régime, playing erotic power games, soon to lose their heads. We are left with something much less thrilling—the rage of a woman scorned."
