One of the worst/best films I will always watch when it comes on the box is: Cruel Intentions. Ahhh it's so awful but just so good. Brilliantly overacted by Sarah 'ducky' Gellar, sickeningly sweetened by Reese Witherspoon and coupled with a really good soundtrack.
But there is another reason I love this film. It is based on one of my favourite books and films. The book is Les Liasons Dangereuses (published in 1782) and the film is, of course, Dangerous Liasons.
Have you seen it? Ooooh please do. Never has there been such a brilliant female villain as Glenn Close's Marquise De Mertuiel. The incredibly cruel and witty banter between herself and John Malcovich's Vicompte De Valmont is worth watching over and over to capture every word. Michelle Pfieffer is absolutely beautiful in it. Is she not one of the most beautiful woman in the world? She is like a cat(woman).
I do love the Rococo era with it's powder puffs and frilly wigs. The costumes are delicious.
The last scene is one of my favourite final scenes in a film ever! Glenn Close is magnificent.
You can also witness some of the worst acting ever by the lovely keanu Reeves. It is priceless!
If you like Cruel Intentions (Shhhhh), see the original. And while you're at it, read the book too!
