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?
I bet he was equally good in that role. It’s what I loved about James Woods in Against All Odds. It was just the fast talking bad guy part, but he made SO much more out of it by his obvious love for her. Same thing in Liasons.
