Overview
A provocative adaptation of the classic novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Updated to present-day France by director Roger Vadim, the film follows Valmont (Gérard Philipe) and Juliette (Jeanne Moreau) as they manipulate each other into having extra-marital affairs. Sex becomes sport in this deliciously backstabbing drama which notably features a score by jazz legend Thelonious Monk.
