	Dangerous Liaisons - Valmont omni
		Because the story of Les Liaisons Dangereuses unfolds entirely via letters written among the characters with no omniscient author intervention, the novel offers great subjectivity of interpretation -- not only about who should be considered the protagonists and who the villains, but about the significance of events and even, in some cases, what actually happened.
		Hampton's play Les Liaisons Dangereuses ends with the shadow of the guillotine falling across the stage, though in the moment, Merteuil plays chess and enjoys the return of her control.
		If the various versions of Les Liaisons Dangereuses offer any clear any message, it is that what people do influences their reputations less than what they say and what is said about them by others.

	DANGEROUS LIAISONS
		Originally published over two hundred years ago Les Liaisons Dangereuses was widely read at the time as a succès de scandale (50 editions were published in his lifetime) and admired by readers such as Marie Antoinette, André Gide and Charles Baudelaire.
		It was while he was assigned to a boring duty on a Bay of Biscay island at age forty that he determined, as he wrote to a friend, to use the time to create something "out of the ordinary, eye-catching, something that would resound around the world" and live after de Laclos’ death.
		His Les Liaisons Dangereuses was first produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Other Place in Stratford on Avon, 1985, transferring to London in 1986 and New York in 1987.

	‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’ (NR)
		Twenty-nine years before British director Stephen Frears's recent wig-and-powdered "Dangerous Liaisons," with Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer, there was "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," a rompy French version directed by Roger Vadim, who was just over a dangerous liaison himself with Brigitte Bardot.
		Updating Choderlos de Laclos' novel (written 177 years before that), Vadim set the bedroom intrigue against a Parisian eve-of-the-'60s world of jazz and sexual permissiveness, cast French siren Jeanne Moreau as predatory Juliette (the Close role in Frears's film) and gave his wife Annette Vadim the innocent-prey role (later played by Pfeiffer).
		Picture then-young vixen Moreau parading around in an ocelot fur coat and married to fellow sexual hunter Gerard Philipe (imagine "Hawaii Five-0's" Jack Lord imitating "The Thin Man's" William Powell imitating Maurice Chevalier); the two swinger-vampires are constantly sniffing the city lovescape for fresh blood.

		It is, of course, impossible not to think of the brilliant and sparkling Dangerous Liaisons that starred John Malkovich and Glenn Close, in comparison, but even when resolutely thinking of Les Liaisons dangereuses on its own merits, it is flat and unappealing.
		This version of Les Liaisons dangereuses was originally created as a television miniseries, which accounts for the lengthy running time and the two-part structure.

	Liaisons Dangereuses: Liaisons Dangereuses: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		So before I even bother filling the cup, this is my admission of guilt: I read the press release for this Liaisons Dangereuses record, and I actually responded to the first line: "this is probably the most highly anticipated electronic CD reissue of all times," mentally entering in the obvious 10.0 it most certainly deserved.
		On a track like "Aperitif de la Mort", Liaisons Dangereuses are incredibly menacing, as they take the spoken word moments of the Cosmic Couriers and rub some of Neubaten's scrap metal along their unwashed armpits, as Goineau babbles like Alan Vega, slobbering wine through the streets of Paris.
		Twenty years on, Liaisons Dangereuses' only album proves they were way ahead of their time and its hot fashion sense.

	Chronicles of Love & Resentment CCXXXV
		The central subject of Les liaisons is the battle for supremacy between the veiled libertine Mme de Merteuil and her accomplice and rival, the roué Vicomte de Valmont.
		Those who defend Tourvel’s uniqueness must assume that, absent Merteuil’s manipulation of Valmont’s vanity (she gets him to send a mortifying break-up letter to Tourvel by intimating that his schoolboy-like behavior is ruining his reputation), he would have been permanently transformed by their love.
		But what is special about Tourvel is not the self-consciousness of the future but that of the past; she resembles less Austen’s Elizabeth Bennett than the heroine of the 1669 novel Les lettres portugaises (written, incidentally, by a man), a nun who writes unanswered letters to her seducer.

	DVD Times - Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.

		I was pleasantly surprised by "Dangerous Liaisons" when the lady of the house foisted it on me. That's underselling it, actually; I thought it was fucking awesome, and that Malkovich turned in maybe the best performance I've ever seen from him (this is among several other great performances).

		The "Liaisons" that opened Wednesday at the Geary Theater, the opening show in the American Conservatory Theater's 37th season, is visually enticing, cleverly staged and, in its principal roles at least, brilliantly performed.
		Havergal oversimplifies the plot as well, diminishing Merteuil's mastery of intrigue by omitting her use and destruction of a renowned libertine and making Valmont less of a scoundrel by cutting his purposeful impregnation of Cecile.
		The result is a "Liaisons" that works better in parts than as a whole.

	Shenandoah Shakespeare :: Touring Troupe
		In many respects, Pierre-Ambroise-Francois Choderlos de Laclos (1741-1803) is the perfect author: he wrote, at around the age of 40, one piece of fiction, which was not merely a masterpiece, but the supreme example of its genre, the epistolary novel; and then troubled the public no further.
		The novel was a new art form and became very popular when Laclos wrote Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1782.
		After seeing the 1959 French film adaptation of Les Liaisons, a thirteen-year-old Brit named Christopher Hampton was enthralled with the Laclos novel and took that obsession with him to Oxford University where he became a scholar of French and German.

		A poignant portrayal of the well-mannered decadence and sexual cynicism of the French aristocracy, Christopher Hampton has made a masterful stage adaptation of a conspiracy to corrupt a young girl barely out of the convent.
		Since its original publication over two hundred years ago, Les Liaisons Dangereuses has provoked in its readers everything from shock and censorship to admiration.
		On the contrary, its sophistication only emphasizes the tawdriness of the empty, exploitive amusements of the aristocratic generation that would die by the guillotine.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Les Liaisons Dangereuses
		Roger Vadim, who showed a remarkable lack of self-restraint in films like Barbarella and Don Juan (or If Don Juan Were a Woman), was far more muted in his jazz-infused updating of Dangerous Liaisons, set in then-modern-day Paris but keeping the guts of the story nearly intact.
		In Vadim's rendition, Valmont (Gérard Philipe) is married to Juliette de Merteuil (Jeanne Moreau), and together they get their kicks by preying on the weaknesses of other high-society types.
		Whether the film's "liaisons" manage to titillate you is debatable.

		Just as "Romeo and Juliet" has thrived in the ballet repertoire without reliance on Shakespeare's verse, there's little reason why "Liaisons" shouldn't ensnare a spectator caught in the ever more tangled web of erotic deceit among a pre-Revolutionary aristocracy sweeping its way toward extinction (the guillotine, to be exact).
		And with Cooper's saturnine glamour to propel the enterprise, the stage is set for a two-act modern ballet that should alternately attract and repulse -- and command attention throughout.
		With Barron's haughty Merteuil seeming increasingly absent from her own jeu d'esprit, the attention shifts with mounting hysteria to various set pieces for Valmont and the doomed Tourvel, whose about-face toward the Vicomte has to be taken on faith in a scenario bereft of the silken cunning John MalkovichJohn Malkovich embodied onscreen.

		Roger Vadim takes his patented obsessions with beauty and the tawdry, destructive behavior that inevitably accompanies it to the French literary classic LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES, Choderlos de Laclos`s scathing 18th-century epistolary novel.
		Jeanne Moreau and Girard Philipe play Valmont and Juliette, two equally beautiful and equally cruel married hipsters scouring the smoky and chic underworld of beatnik-tinged 1960 Paris for their next amorous victims.
		Vadim's transposition of the casual cruelties and excruciatingly subtle protocols of 18th-century French court life is uncannily accurate, and the director brings themes developed in his earlier masterpiece, AND GOD CREATED WOMAN, to a sophisticated crescendo of visual and psychological eroticism, romance, and ennui.
