Ganz großes Theater in der Kamera: Les Liaisons Dangereuses – National Theatre Live

Film recording from the National Theatre, London

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (“Angels in America”) directs this gripping play about love, lies, and social power struggles.

BAFTA Award winner Lesley Manville (“The Silk Thread”) stars alongside Aidan Turner (“Rivals”) in a stunning new production of Christopher Hampton’s acclaimed adaptation of the classic novel, in which even a single misstep can spell ruin in the glamorous salons of the super-rich. The Marquise de Merteuil is a masterful survivor. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, she turns seduction into a strategy and uses desire as a weapon. But when their alliance crumbles and turns into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone who crosses their path.
