France before 1789: When a widow hears that her lover is to marry her cousin's daughter, she asks the playboy Valmont to take the girl's virginity. But first she bets him, with her body as prize, to seduce a virtuous, young, married woman.

based on the classic novel les liaisons dangereuses, this delectable thriller stars colin firth and oscarnominee annette bening as embittered aristocrats who weave a wicked web of cruel intentions and savage seductions. directed by oscarwinner milos forman, valmont is a darkly amusing period drama that's also "a piece of high entertainment".
in 18th-century france, a cruel and calculating playboy, valmont, makes a malicious wager with the equally wicked madame de merteuil: valmont must dishonor the married madame de trouvel by sleeping with her. if valmont succeeds, he gets the privilege of merteuil's bed as well. but when valmont sets out on his task, the unexpected happens...he falls in love with trouvel! and now merteuil will stop at nothing to destroy valmont's newfound passion.
