Director: Josie Rourke

210 minutes, UK, 2015, colour, Digital


This film screened 28th January 2016.

Josie Rourke’s revival of Chistopher Hampton’s classic adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses Is this month’s presentation by National Theatre Live, a series of enthralling live performances from London’s most prestigious theatres, broadcast onto cinema screens globally.

In 1782, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ novel of sex, intrigue and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalised the world. This compelling adaptation charts the games of seduction and revenge played out by the merciless aristocrats Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont at the expense of the peerlessly virtuous and beautiful Madame de Tourvel, games that can only end in tragedy.

Tickets €15. Free list suspended.
