Hampton's masterly adaptation of Laclos' infamous French epistolary novel is a celebration of artful wickedness, betrayal and sexual intrigue among idle aristocrats. The villainous heroes are the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, who have cultivated their mutual cynicism into a highly developed game of wit and wickedness. Lacking the courage to admit they love each other, they spend their energies destroying the loves of others. In their private score keeping, nothing counts more than a heart destroyed and hopes laid to waste. When the Vicomte finds himself beset by genuine emotions for one of his victims, the Marquise considers it the ultimate betrayal and plots her heartless revenge.
