The plot of Dangerous Liaisons remains unchanged, with Dong gun-Jang playing Xie Yifan, a wealthy businessman with a reputation for his insatiable sexual appetite. Audiences will be pleased with a new take on one of the greatest tales of love, seduction and revenge among “friends.”
This year’s Dangerous Liaisons branches in major ways, most obviously in its 1930s China setting, and although one cannot help but compare it to Stephen Frears’ (essentially incomparable) 1988 film starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich, Jin-ho Hur’s Dangerous Liaisons brings a welcome addition to the collection of adaptations of the French classic novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos. The new piece must evoke the memory and energy of the original, even as it branches out and liberates itself, creating a new and distinctive work of art.
