Summary
Based on the 18th-century novel that scandalized Parisian society, Roger Vadim's film modernizes the setting but retains the novel's sardonic sensibility. In this version, Valmont and Juliette have an "open" marriage in which adulterous affairs are encouraged, as long as love is not involved. A Swiss ski resort provides the backdrop for the couple's pursual of emotional devastation. Their perverse game backfires, however, when Valmont plots to compromise the virtuous Marianne but falls in love with her instead.
