Review

Amy Raphael

Since its publication in 1782, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses has been adapted many times, including the 1988 Stephen Frears film, Dangerous Liaisons starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich and, just over a decade later, Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe.

This decade’s version, The Seduction, helps to launch the new streaming service HBO Max, and is a “freely adapted” prequel that places the secondary character of Madame de Rosemonde, played by German model-turned-actor Diane Kruger at the centre of the drama.
