"I knew I wasn't going to be taken seriously if I went in there trying to act the part of a Latin Lover. And Milos was asking why everyone was so serious - why make seduction such a heavy business? It was a trap everyone had fallen into, that to play the philandered, they should smoulder."


Summary:

Set in 18th century France, two bored aristocrats, Vicomt de Valmont and Mme de Merteuile, amuse themselves by manipulating and controlling people - friends and enemies alike... In the end they find themselves caught in their own plotting and end up paying for their malicious designs. Based on the same novel as "Dangerous Liaisons."

"I have found it very difficult to do a love scene with an actress that I'm involved with. That was particularly the case with Meg; we found it very, very hard to make use of our relationship on the screen. You can feel invaded, you know, with half the crew around. The last thing you're going to do is giggle and do the take so many times you get bruised lips."


Memorable Quotes from "Valmont":


Mertuil: Valmont you disappoint me, that's what's keeping you here. Tell me are you really fallin' in love?

Valmont: Does that make you jealous?

Mertuil: Not really


Cecile: Um... Can we just write this time?
