Wicked plots, love and revenge. Dramatic with sharp, prickly humorous nuances. Impeccable acting, fabulous sets & costuming. Two thumbs up!

After seeing Cruel Intentions, I did not realize that this movie was the original. Glenn Close did a fabulous job, along w/the rest of the all star cast.

While the film definitely earned its R rating, of the many adaptations of the story of Valmont, this is by far the best! The acting is incredible, particularly that of Malkovich and Close. It's filmed gorgeously and put together very well, without the usual lulls that period dramas can have. Definitely worth watching!

I agree with others who can't imagine John Malkovich in the role of Vicomte De Valmont. The Korean version, which stars Korean television actor Bae Yong Joon does justice to this character. The Vicomte De Valmont (called Cho Won in the Korean version) is supposed to have a mischievous aura about him. Malkovich's character is just selfish and mean and I can't say I have much sympathy for his character's downfall. If you want to watch a version of this story with goregeous costumes and more faithfullness to the spirit of the story (even at the expense of the literal story), check out Untold Scandal.

WORST CASE OF MISCASTING EVER!!! 18th century costume and manners forgive/hide/even foster much in the way of alternatively shaded sexualities, but there is no way i can buy Malkovich as the roué with so much charisma and machismo that he can have literally any woman he wants/is challenged to seduce. c'mon...! John Malkovich??? one word: ewwww!
