Amidst the smoky and chic world of Parisian elite, Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman, Barbarella) re-creates Choderlos de Laclos’ scathing 18th-century novel of bedroom secrets and casual cruelties. Jeanne Moreau (Jules & Jim, La Notte) and Gerard Phillipe (La Ronde, Beauty and the Beast) star as Juliette and Valmont, two charming and vindictive spouses who find sport in each other’s conquests. But while staying at a ski resort, their games of passion come to a tragic end when Valmont falls in love with a pious socialite earmarked to be his next victim. Banned in some parts of France during its initial release, Les Liaisons Dangereuses co-stars Jean-Louis Trintignant (Red, Z) and features a jazz-infused score by Thelonious Monk.

With: Jeanne Moreau, Gérard Philipe, Annette Vadim, Madeleine Lambert, Jeanne Valérie.
