Dangerous Liaisons Book Vs Movie. It was a bit of a competition and scandal! Both are based on chloderos laclos' scandalous 1782 novel les liaisons dangereuses.
Annette benning, colin firth, fairuza balk, henry thomas, meg tilly Both are based on chloderos laclos' scandalous 1782 novel les liaisons dangereuses. My nonfiction book, “dangerous liaisons,” explains clearly, for a general audience, what psychopaths are, why they act the way they do, how they attract us and whom they tend to target.
As the marquise de merteuil points out in choderlos de laclos’s scandalous book, dangerous liaisons (later immortalised on the silver screen by stephen frears), the 18 th century was a period when love was coupled with debauchery and antagonism.
This is a typical ending to a modern story. A solid period piece that also works as an absorbing character study, thanks to an excellent performance from the enigmatic john malkovich. It's been no mystery that films that lose to other, of the moment films become timeless and the stuff that makes movie magic. Stephen frears does “betray” the novel towards the end of the film but, it makes the ending that much more better and enticing.
