"Valmont" ventures into the decadence of 18th century French aristocracy where Firth (Valmont) and Benning involve themselves in wickedness and sexual intrigues. The film, one of several spin-offs of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, is well cast and acted (though the absence of French accents is obvious); sets and costuming lavish; scenery sumptuous; and the screen play and script excellent. The 2+ hour run passes swiftly though the end seems to want for something more. A fun romp for those into period films.
