Bellissimo film ma molto triste valmont alla fine si era davvero innamorato ma la.sua vanita e stata piu forte il rimorso l avrebbe tormentato per sempre cosi si e lasciato morire
@anatolia4687 Idle rich pre-revolution French aristocrats, moral invertebrates, wager that a cynical womaniser can seduce a virtuous wife to commit adultery. The heartless seducer discovered too late that he had a heart; and that when he broke hers, he also broke his own, and lost his life as well. The book was written by a French aristocrat military officer (Count Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, who escaped the guillotine to fight under Napoleon) who came from this society, and knew its amoral culture well. Published in 1762, this epistolary novel was condemned by the Church; and never been out of print since.
Actually, it was the woman who was stalked, seduced, then cruelly "cut loose" by this heartless predator; it was she who lost her reputation; and died a broken woman, of a broken heart.
The moral of this brilliant, amoral film is, as the Bible says, "The wages of sin is death." The last, silent, shot of the duel [not in the video] -- the dead Valmont, in the arms his servant (who loves him) and kneeling before them the remorseful young killer, is desolately, heart-breakingly beautiful: -- from above, one looks down (like God) on the dark figures against the blood-stained snow: black, white, RED. If you've never seen this spellbinding movie, Do so. I think it is one of the most beautiful, intelligent and emotionally truthful tragedies ever made. 😢
I think the spirit of the original (1792) novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos entered into the actors. The author was a minor aristocrat and military officer who lived in the world he wrote about. He narrowly escaped the guillotine in the Reign of Terror, and lived to fight under Napoleon. Both Malkovich and Pfeiffer got divorces as a consequence of making this brilliant film. Very sad.
