Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a deliciously wicked peep into the boudoirs of the ruling class in pre-revolution France. In a decadent cat-and-mouse game of love and revenge, the beautiful Marquise and the infamous Valmont deftly manipulate those around them -- including each other -- as they scheme to seduce their innocent victims. The scandalous plot that unfolds leads to revelations about the human heart that are both chilling and inspiring.
