![]() I’ve been a fan of the storyline of Dangerous Liaisons since its 1990s cinematic counterpart, Cruel Intentions, was released so any retelling had big shoes to fill with me. ![]() As the famous aphorism says, “the heart wants what the heart wants,” but in this tale, mixing love and lust can have disastrous consequences. For Val, that is Elisabeth Townsend, an upright married woman with whom he falls madly in love. But there’s always a catch and when you’re used to getting what you want, it’s the thing you can’t have. Their cruel pact remains the same: if Valiant can seduce Mae’s virginal cousin Cecily, he gets to spend the night with Mae. The scheming Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil has become the rich, coddled heiress Mae Malveaux, while seductive rake Vicomte de Valmont is transformed into Valiant Jackson. ![]() ![]() Updated to more modern times, this retelling of Dangerous Liaisons takes place in 1940s Harlem instead of the 18 th century French court.
