"Don't move. I'll prepare something for you. I'll wait on you. I want to serve you."
(Madame de Tourvel)

Valmont is a seductive period drama directed by Milos Forman from 1989, adapted from the novel Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
Colin Firth stars as the charismatic Vicomte de Valmont, who, alongside Annette Bening’s cunning Marquise de Merteuil, engages in elaborate games of manipulation and deceit among the French aristocracy. The film explores themes of love, betrayal, and power as Valmont's schemes with Merteuil entangle the young and innocent Madame de Tourvel, played by Meg Tilly, with tragic consequences.

This was just one of the many cinematic portrayals of romantic entanglement and intrigue.
