Les Liaisons dangereuses
Pierre Choderlos de Laclos/ Christine Letailleur
The Vicomte de Valmont, a depraved strategist, stays in salons to seduce women. He plots with the Marquise de Merteuil, a devilish creature hungry for intrigue. As she wants to take revenge from a former lover who is to marry the young Cecile de Volanges, the marquise offers the womanizer to make the betrothed burn with desire. In the meantime, Madame de Tourvel, whose prerogatives are fidelity and devotion, is the new target chosen by Valmont. If he can bring back written evidence of his success, he will have the privilege to spend one last night with the Marquise. Choderlos de Laclos studies the destructive rivalry between man and woman a,d Christine Letailleur’s brilliant adaptation of the novel troubles us with her deep analysis of love and erotic psychology and her great cast, including Dominique Blanc and Vincent Perez.
