"Les Liasions Dangereuses" is based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (1741-1803) that was, due to its satirical swipe at aristocratic society, actually banned when it was first published.

Les Liaisons dangereuses, Choderlos de Laclos's epistolary novel of 18th-century manners, has become a self-perpetuating industry.
In this simple but spectacular setting the aristocratic characters weave their web of liaisons and revenge.
Obedient to strict etiquette in public, they form graceful Watteauesque social clusters; unbridled by their desires in private, they move with the brutal disorder of primitives.

 DVD Times - Les Liaisons Dangereuses
The subject matter of Les Liaisons Dangereuses is timeless - it’s entirely about the complex machinery of human emotions, human relationships and human sexuality.
The script has none of the beautiful poetic concision of Christopher Hampton’s adaptation, Dangerous Liaisons — it is much too long-drawn out and loses the orgiastic hothouse quality of Frears' intense direction.
Deneuve and Everett’s verbal sparring works surprisingly well, but in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, a lot more depends on the chemistry between Valmont and Mme Tourvel, and it is here unfortunately where the TV version fails — the plot devices and the direction lacking the subtlety and plausibility that should bring us to a convincing denouement.

There is nothing in Les liaisons that resembles the genuinely modern negotiations of desire that we find in Jane Austen.
