Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) is a 1959 movie, based on the 1782 novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
Directed by [[Roger Vadim] is a modern (1959) adaptation of the once scandalous french novel that pits one woman desire to manipulate others lives against the power of real love. Jeanne Moreau plays Juliette de Merteuil a coninving socialite that manipulates Vicomte de Valmont played by Gérard Philipe into meetign and seducing Marianne [[Annette Vadim
]]. Valmont and Marianne fall in love much to boths dismay and to the delight of Merteuil. Shot in black and white in the style of the French New Wave (Nouvelle Vague) Vadim's whirlwind portrayal of Merteuil and Valmont's decitful's dealings brings together a clash of late 1950's society and 16th century morality.
Vadim's film brought Moreau to an intrnational audience and firmly seated him alongside Jean-Luc Goddard, Truffaut, Agnes Varda Jacques Demy
