Synopsis

Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves star in a classic tale of innocence, desire and sexual gamesmanship.

Just prior to the French Revolution, a time of legendary decadence, the corseted and perfumed French aristocracy are wealthy beyond reckoning and fully dedicated to the pursuit of their own pleasure. Yet human emotions are not easily trifled with as this timeless plot of labyrinthine intrigue delves into the most private reaches of the human psyche.

A witty and tragic drama with brilliant performa…

This movie is so incredibly well executed, and all three lead characters are reaching their peak career performances. It is clever, funny, and tragic all rolled together, and one that you will be thinking about long after the movie is over. Of the three main characters, Michelle Pfeiffer has the least stretching to do as an actor, but her character calls for a demure, soft-spoken individual. John Malkovitch and Glenn Close are both deliciously malicious and carry the film well. Keanu Reeves is better suited for an action film - he appears wooden - but does a decent job, anyway. Lastly, Uma is refreshing and captivating, and plays opposite John Malkovitch without losing her identity. All in all, masterful, and visually and intellectually stimulating to watch. Still to this day it holds its' own in a world where action is the name of the game.
