Abridged Book Description[]
Christopher Hampton translated his own acclaimed play Les Liaisons Dangereuses into Dangerous Liaisons, a sumptuous, decadent drama of 18th-century French sexual intrigue, brought to life on screen by director Stephen Frears... frears leads us into the boudoirs and drawing rooms of the wealthy aristocracy, each one dripping with elegance and wickedness in equal measure... A handsome look at lust, betrayal, and guilt, Dangerous Liaisons is both lavishly mounted and beautifully portrayed.
