Milos Forman's adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liaisons Dangereuses stars Colin Firth, Annette Bening and Meg Tilly; the script was partly written by Jean-Claude Carriere (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Unbearable Lightness of Being) and the cinematography was by Miroslav Ondricek (The Firemen's Ball, If...). Released less than a year after Stephen Frears' own version (Dangerous Liasons), this adaptation is "rapturously beautiful, enticing us into a lush, aristocratic world...Valmont lacks the wit and erotic charge of Dangerous Liaisons. But Forman's vision is, finally, more humane, more devastating" Milos Forman---USA/France---1989---137 mins.
