  A Fun Period Romp

I really preferred the crueller, wickeder, more dramatic "Dangerous Liaisons" with John Malkovich, but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying Milos Forman's "Valmont."

Colin Firth is as handsome as always, playing the mischievous, playful Valmont. Annette Bening is lovely, but her plotting and manipulations weren't quite as fun to watch as Glenn Close's.

Fairuza Balk is adorable and it made me uncomfortable, since she looked so much younger than Uma Thurman's Cecile, watching Valmont seduce her. It seemed way more like nonconsensual relations to me.

Meg Tilly was luminous as Madame de Tourvel. Her sister can't hold a candle to her.

Good old Henry Thomas of "E.T." fame is adorable as the clumsy music tutor Danceny. It's enjoyable to watch the budding romance between him and Fairuza's Cecile.

This more lighthearted version is fun to watch. The sets and costumes are fabulous but a bit restrained. You get to see Colin Firth in a period style bathtub, ooh.

This is definitely a chick flick so don't try to inflict it on your husbands or boyfriends!
