Tonight on TV: You don’t dream of it, it’s Keanu REEVES, who plays French literature classics in this adaptation

You know the novel Dangerous connectionsExcellent classics of French literature by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and published in 1782? Hollywood adapted this delicious adaptation to the big screen in the late 80’s! This feature film, exactly suitable for Christopher Hempton’s play, was staged by British Stephen Farcea, who began his American cycle of career.

Dangerous connections are the history of two brilliant and spiritual aristocrats, Marquise de Merteuil (Glenn Close) and Valmont’s attractive viscount (John Malkovich), which signs the “untouchable friendship” at the end of their work. By this name, the Marquis asked Walmont to seduce Candide Cecile de Villanges (Uma Thurman), who soon had to marry his former beloved, M. De Bastid. But Walmont has undertaken to seduce the virtuous MME de Tourvel (Michelle Pfeiffer).

The brilliant version of the epistolary novel from the end of the 18th century, the dangerous links that the viewer encountered in the hearts of the love story of the aristocracy of that time is a small treatment for Machiavellianism and perversion. If the main asset of the film is the brilliant performance of Glenn Cloa and John Malkovich, as brutal as the other, the rest of the distribution is also perfect, especially for Michelle Pfeiffer and the two beginners who will become great: Keanu Reeves (the great director did not want it because he thought it was bad) and Uma Therman.

Three Oscars and Shooting with Chateau de Vincenes

The Oscarator for decorating his teams, his costumes and his suitable scenarios (Glenn Clo and Michelle Pfeiffer were named in the categories of the best actors and best actors), the dangerous links are sophisticated and perfectly dialogical. Keep in mind that the film was fully filmed in France, a team that goes to several hexagonal castles, including the great chateau de Vincens.

Dangerous links have been a great commercial success, with almost US $ 35 million and almost 1.7 million spectators in world cash registers. What if at home, you dare to discover these charming and dangerous connections?
