Dangerous Liaisons


     Dangerous Liaisons is a Chinese adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ novel of the same name. Mo Jieyu is as successful and wise in business as she is manipulative and power hungry with men. She makes a deal with playboy Xie Yifan to take the virginity of her ex-lover’s fiance, and in exchange he can have the beautiful Mo Jieyu as his prize. As with all sex wagers, chaos erupts, and what follows is a fun ride of exploitation, love and betrayal. Aided by sound acting and a compelling visual style, Dangerous Liaisons will seduce audiences through its twists and climactic finale even if it lacks any thematic depth of its own.
