Summary: A must for vunerable women!!!
Review: Not only does this video / film make you weak at the knees with all the seduction and villianary - it lures you into a perhaps wrongful sense of beautiful happiness...maybe in your mind you CAN do what Glenn and John do - or maybe not. Having seen the film / video at LEAST a million times - the book is a must, no matter how hard the 'classical' necessities are. My God - do NOT miss this. - !!

Summary: Emotions run deeper then they seem
Review: I fell in love with this film. Malcovich was perfect as Valmont. Very sexy and makes me wish men in this cetury would learn a lesson from it. Watching Valmont go from being just dispicable to honorable was wonderful. Don't miss the transormation of this man. Simply wonderful.

Summary: Call it not costume drama, but high art
Review: Ever seen Cruel Intentions? Then you must watch this, the finest retelling of the 18th c. Choderlos de Laclos novel, to see how it's done. This film is in many ways more modern than its teen-spun counterpart, thanks to the director's sensitivity to the era and to period filmmaking. The characters behave like natural participants in their environment, which was after all a greedy and prestige-driven society much like that of the 1980s. The dialogue is often hilariously wicked and catty, the sets and costumes are obsessively accurate, and the sexual tension is kept at a fever pitch. This film is an "owner" for any intelligent fan of cinema.

Summary: Stunning head-games film
Review: The subtleties of the interaction between Close and Malkevich's characters makes for some great psychological pathology. A window into the minds of two exceptional sexual chess-players, this film depicts a classic battle of the sexes but it's done with class and pathos. The weapons are the head-games and the finesse with which each character wields them. A film to be studied rather than tossed aside as merely another movie about a failed love-affair, one would do well to appreciate the havoc wreaked on the minds of the two main characters by their own brilliance at mind-games. Five stars not only because it is such a fine film, but because it's a lot deeper than Amazon's reviewer claims. This film is not "mindless"; if anything, it may be a bit TOO mindful: One has to think to see what's just beneath the surface.

Summary: Tasty venom.
Review: This is a flawless film, from the stunning costume design and location scenery, to the incredibly exact and jaded performances. This may be the best work Close has done, which is no small compliment. Malkovich brings a sense of pervading dirtiness to the Vicomte, and Kurtz is a hoot as the smarmy Madame de Volanges. The direction is laser sharp. Don't watch it if you like your entertainment mindless and sentimental. This is a hard film, about deceipt and corruption: basic human nature magnified to the nth degree.

Summary: Brilliant film making in every category!
Review: One of my all time favorites - the dialogue is unbelievable! Malkovich was a weird choice as Valmont the seducer but once you see the movie, you know seduction is in the attitude, not the face. Devastating performances (except by Keanu- he's more wooden than usual) - if you haven't seen this, do so immediately! Frears is one of the my favorite directors - I love his tight, concise style.

Summary: An intriguing story on seduction, with a pinch of love.
Review: Malkovitch is mouthwatering, gorgeous, spectacular. His writing on his lovers backs, the tone of his voice is tangibly velvet. Oh yeah...Michelle Pfeiffer and Glenn Close fell for him, too.

Summary: Subtly erotic and wickedly evil !
Review: In 18th Century France, a woman (brilliantly played by Glenn Close) manipulates the lives of others for her amusment, with the help of a man she loves so much (played by John Malkovich). Based on a French novel. Only complaint : The DVD suffers in special feautres and bonus materials. A must !

Summary: A MUST SEE MOVIE
Review: This movie is the ultimate "battle of the sexes." Just when you think one sex won the battles you are sadly mistaken, but impressed. The characters turn betrayal, revenge and love into an art. I have seen this movie so many times but I keep going back for more. You will watch what these people do to each other just for kicks and be completely disgusted, but you'll like it...
