Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

When a predatory, wealthy widow (Glenn Close) challenges a notorious rake (John Malkovich) to seduce a beautiful young newlywed (Michelle Pfeiffer) a cardinal rule will be broken: two players will fall in love - with tragic results. This three-time Oscar winner from director Stephen Frears is based on a scandalous 1782 novel and Christopher Hampton's 1986 stageplay.
