Afternoon Tea: DANGEROUS LIAISONS

Prepare to be seduced by tantalizing tea, tasty treats and the deliciously scandalous costume drama of DANGEROUS LIAISONS. The Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil (Glenn Close) and Vicomte Sebastien de Valmont (John Malkovich) are master manipulators who elevate the art of back-stabbing to unparalleled heights. But when Sebastien actually falls for his victim, Madame de Tourvel (Michelle Pfeiffer), he finds himself caught in a web of his own deceit, with the darkly cunning Marquise closing in for the kill. Malkovich and Close are formidable opponents as both characters and actors, and their escalating games of secrets and lies build the intensity to wonderfully excruciating levels. Also featuring Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, this juicy slice of cinema will titillate you with intrigue while you enjoy tea and treats just as delectable as the costumes and set design. (Sarah Pitre)
