This is a relatively shallow entertainment, but its glossy surfaces certainly are, well, seductive.

It's behind veils of bitterness, pride and prudishness where De Laclos' knife-twister most delights, after all, something this performance-rich LIAISONS understands.
Los Angeles Times
[T]he venomous passions remain repellently, seductively familiar.
New York Times
They have made the film function successfully almost as well as in the original setting.

The New Republic
The film lives up to its expectations by presenting a beautifully tragic story of how one woman's scheming ends up costing the people who surround her dearly.

Rating: 3/5 --
Zhang, expertly conveying someone closed off yet silently sensual, even rolls out a tear during a moment of impending intimacy as exquisitely timed as a dancer's move.

Much of the cynicism, and thus the fun, of its many Western predecessors goes missing.

Product Description:
Korean director Hur Jin-ho transplants author Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' celebrated novel to 1930s-era Shanghai in this lavish adaptation distinguished by rich period detail. As the drums of war begin to beat, aging socialite Mo Jieyu (Cecelia Cheung) finds her beauty beginning to fade. Meanwhile her former lover Xie Yifan (Jang Dong-gun), a notorious womanizer, turns his attentions toward the virginal Du Fenyu (Ziyi Zhang), who seems completely immune to his formidable powers of seduction. Later, as Mo entices Xie into a treacherous game of seduction that requires him to break Du's heart, the unrepentant libertine finds his conscience stirred as he begins to experience the joys and sorrows of true love for the very first time.
