Les Liaisons Dangereuses

A series of intimate letters chronicles the amorous misadventures of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont — two rivals who use their bodies as weapons in the war of the sexes. Set in the final days of the Ancien Regime, Laclos' dark and erotic epistolary milestone has been a bountiful source of inspiration for filmmakers and stage producers.
