Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Close, Malkovich e Pfeiffer aproveitam ao máximo seus fascinantes personagens e os diálogos afiados do roteiro de Hampton, mas o filme é um pouco mais frio do que deveria.
Cinema em Cena
A sombre, manipulative affair in which the decor is never allowed to usurp our interest.

Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
Witty, entertaining, if occasionally overripe.
New York Times
This incisive study of sex as an arena for manipulative power games takes too long to catch fire and suffers from a deficient central performance.

Variety
...In addition to its photography, the film's details of costuming and production design are ravishing. Hampton and Frears have also employed a lovely flowing series of flashbacks throughout...
Los Angeles Times
It's an elegant, erotic and gorgeously photographed tour through a wickedly artificial 18th century aristocratic world in which people can articulate anything and everything but the emotions that finally destroy them.

...Pfeiffer reveals an emotional nakednes that's almost shocking....The payoff more than warrants the dare... -- Rating: A

Product Description:
Based on the infamous novel LES LIASONS DANGEREUSES by Choderlos de Laclos and the subsequent Christopher Hampton play, set in pre-revolutionary France, a cunning Marquise (Glenn Close) and a seductive Vicomte (John Malkovich) mastermind a cruel and complicated game of romantic manipulation. Set against the backdrop of high-society baroque boudoirs, filled with deceitful lovers and cunning sexual gamesmanship, the Marquise and the Vicomte agree to a competition involving a virginal young bride (Uma Thurman) and a faithful wife (Michele Pfieffer). When the Vicomte successfully seduces the virtous and faithful wife they unexpectantly fall in love, breaking the rules of the inhuman Marquise's clever parlor game with vengeful results.
