John Malkovich in Dangerous Liaisons... he was such an amusing snake.
Omg that was one of the best movies. I haven’t seen it in years. He wants the older woman, she promises she will be with him if he seduced the young virgin girl. He is excellent at slow grooming and seduction, but he finds himself falling in love with the young beauty. And is still forced to ruin her life or whatever, while he is in love with her. And the older woman apparently really does love him but when she then is available to him he doesn’t really want her any more because he is totally broken hearted over the young one. Oh my gosh. What an amazing love and broken heart triangle and how well acted. I’d like to see that again.
It’s amazing how well that movie has held up in terms of production quality. It’s from 1988 but it’s really beautiful. It’s based on a play, and Alan Rickman played Valmont on stage. What a thought, eh?
