| Brief Description: | The first--and certainly the best--version of Laclos' novel, with the
incredible Gerard Philipe playing Valmont, and Jeanne Moreau, Madame
de Merteuil. Directed by Roger Vadim and updated to 1960, Vadim's
exploration of free-thinking attitudes and portrait of the corrupt
upper-class society is particularly distinguished through the
outstanding performances of both Philipe and Moreau. With Jean-Louis
Trintignant, Annette Vadim; music by, among others, Thelonious Monk.
French with English subtitles. |
