    Dangerous Liaisons isn't necessarily a work of art, but it's a guilty pleasure for sure.

    Visual sumptuousness trumps the coldly erotic dastardliness of previous incarnations, but where this version feasts is on close-ups, with exchanges between pairs of eyes - the predatory versus the hesitant, the manipulatively comforting opposite the blindly vulnerable - that recall the silent era.

    Hur invests the period setting with an eye-popping opulence that's meant to highlight the elite decadence that came before the fall, but his Dangerous Liaisons isn't particularly sophisticated on a political or historical level.

    With its exotic setting and its beautiful cast, this Dangerous Liaisons is lovely rather than wicked.
