Description: Set in France around 1760-1770. The Marquise de Merteuil needs a favour from her ex-lover, Vicomte de Valmont.

Watched in 2021: Movies (152 movies items)

" Director: Stephen Frears His 13th movie My 14th movie watched from the director This Stephen Frears movie might have created one of Malkovich's best roles. He has a lot of fun with it and is quite effective. The whole cast is strong and the story just twisted enough to keep interest. About halfway through I realized this must have been a strong influence on "Cruel Intentions". Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Malkovich, Pfeiffer Top Ten Films - Stephen Frears __________ Locatio"
