Passion and deception abound in this sizzling portrayal of late 18th century French aristocracy.  Two ex-lovers, caught in a struggle between power and seduction, plot their interconnected revenge with one torrid affair.  But just one intrigue isn’t enough for the devilishly handsome Vicomte de Valmont who continues to pursue his new conquest, as well as some old ones….  In this unscrupulous game of conspiracy and deceit, who is really playing whom, and why? Parental guidance suggested.
