Where Firth sneakily seduces, Malkovich violently rapes. Both versions of the tale are equally brilliant but they are made in different ways. I reccommend this for any fan of Firth. It may not necessarily be the best movie in his back catalogue but he plays the character very well. His seduction of the ladies is second to none, he is cheeky and passionate - how I only wish he'd do it to me, lol.
it is very difficult to go after the version of Frears, the trio Malkovitch Close Pfeiffer moved me!! everything was perfect in that movie, the costume, the make up, the lighting, the music..., Dangerous liaison is from far "superior" in all angles to Valmont. it s a harsh opinion, but this is how i feel having watching both, Close Pfeiffer and Malkovitch gave one of their best performance for that movie, and Close and Malkovitch have always been underated weirdly...
this is my favorite film adaptation of this story...cruel intentions sucked compared to this but i never seen the first one with glenn close is it good?
@cutiefbaby you're right, cruel intentions sucks but you should really watch 'dangerous liaisons' with john malkovich he's incomparable!! I was crying my eyes out at the end of the movie.
Firth does a fair job but Malkovich is a true genius: malicious, deceiving, outrageous, vulnerable...he's got it all.
'Valmont' is good but 'Dangerous Liaisons' is a masterpiece! One of the best films of all time.

John Malkovich is so much better as Valmont. This movie was released a year after Dangerous Liaisons So, obviously they were just riding the coat tails of sucess. Because until recently, I'd never heard of this movie. But the latter has always been one of my favorite movies. Glenn Close is so amazing. She does the best tormented character.
Obviously, as the original 18th century novel reveals, the best and worst of human nature is depicted. One other point the author was making, while the nobility were cavorting with such wild abandon....France was on the verge of economic collapse, and the poverty-stricken French people would soon vent their rage in the French Revolution. But, "all is fair in love & war".
Valmont is my favourite version of the novel. Colin Firth is a splendid actor, as are the others. So romantic! :)
Hey, Firth as Valmont is great! And Benning? Wonderful! I read that book and I liked it very much so I can say that they both played that great! + music, costumes... Amazing!
This trailer is indeed very painful. The movie was obviously not as good as Dangerous Liaisons, but it was a whole lot better than I expected it to be: I thought both Bening and Firth were excellent.
@thrillkillkitten Yes, firth as Valmont is as good as Malkovich in Dangerous Liasions or even better- he's a real astocrate. And Benning suits definietly better than Glenn!! Her acting is really amazing and while reading the book i imagined Marqize de Mertreuil really LIKE her.
@thrillkillkitten Um, the original work is actually an epistolary novel, not a play, but you're right the version with Glen Close and John Malkovitch is really quite good.
@thrillkillkitten This is better version of Valmont than dangerous liasons, and are in Meg Tilly and Fairuza Balk too, is one of best ten films of this decade.
@thrillkillkitten i tried to watch the movie but ... didnt make it. i forgot everything although i watched it three weeks ago and it was boring and i stopped watching after less than an hour..hate colin in this. its just freaking boring. so what.
It's a shame Colin wasn't cast as Valmont in Malkovich's place. That was the most unbelievable bit of casting ever and Firth definitely would've been more credible at seducing Michelle Pfeiffer.
can someone tell me the haunting love theme between Colin and Meg Tilly - IMDB only lists 3 songs and my guess would be the Haydn minuet but I'm not sure and there is no soundtrack listing anywhere on the net
wow the trailer for this movie does not do it justice! This movie have to be my fave of all time, but this trailer really makes it look not that great...
