Did anyone here see Dangerous Liaisons in 1988? If so what was it like?

Yes, I did, and it was as great a cinematic experience as it is nowadays. I've just watched it for what must have been the 5th or 6th time and I'm always enthralled and always find a little detail that went unnoticed in previous viewings. This film has everything perfect: cast, costume, dialogue, acting, directing, etc. The opening scene, with both JM and GC looking into the mirror, which is the camera (meaning US) is a gem. This is a film about stripping of one's mask and, as such, should touch most people in a number of different ways.
Watch it a few times, is my suggestion to all of you.
I'm ready to listen. Are you ready to think?

This is excellent advice. I've watched it several times over the years, and am always amazed at the little things I pick up with each viewing - things that take on a different meaning, haven't noticed before, etc. Each viewing seems to bring something new.

One of the very few movies in my life that I have ever walked out of. After a half hour of watching this film, I had no idea who was who or what was going on. I heard people in the theater laughing and had no idea what they were laughing about. I absolutely hate movies or tv shows that I am unable to follow, so I just gave up and walked out. I've never bothered to try and watch it again. A truly horrible experience. If I was rating this movie, I'd give it a zero! I don't understand how anyone could follow this movie.. too complex.

I think perhaps this movie is beyond your mental capacitythat's your problem, not the movie's.

Essentially the story is straightforward. It's primarily about vanity, a lack of contentment and what transpires when one is motivated by these feelings. You can't have been paying much attention.

I saw this twice in the theater. Both audiences were 30-50 people, and they loved it. And both times there was an audible gasp when Uma Thurman bared her breasts.

The wonderful thing about films is they don't change as the years go by, unless they are re-edited into a "director's cut" or whatnot.

Yes, I watched it in 1988. I dragged my then boyfriend (now husband), and I loved it. He, not so much. But he pretended to, bless him.
John Malkovich was very attractive, but I think almost any man is sexy in 18th century clothing.
