‘Dangerous Liaisons’
Dangerous Liaisons firmly solidifies Starz’s place as the network for sexy bodice rippers. This new take on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s addictive tale of sex and revenge introduces us to young lovers who dream of better lives. However, when Camille (Alice Englert) learns that her lover Valmont (Nicholas Denton) has been sleeping with a noblewoman in order to blackmail her for money, she’s devastated. Camille vows that if it’s not love, it’s war between them. Camille decides to team up with Valmont’s other woman, Geneviève de Merteuil (Lesley Manville) to bring him down. I guess before Taylor Swift albums existed, women funneled their heartache into complex schemes.
