Dangerous Liaisons

The game of conquest is underway. Anything goes when a predatory, wealthy widow challenges a notorious rake to seduce a beautiful young newlywed. But this time, a cardinal rule will be broken: two players will fall in love - with tragic results. This acclaimed winner of three Academy awards boasts grand 18th-century sets and costumes. But its characters could step into the 20th century without missing a beat. Directed by Stephen Frears from a scandalous 1782 novel and Christopher Hampton's compelling 1986 play, ' Dangerous Liaisons' is 'nasty, decadent fun; the surprise is how much anguished emotion seeps through its cool marble heart' (David Ansen, NEWSWEEK)., The game of conquest is underway.
