Dangerous Liaisons

The action of the much-adapted French novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" is transported from the 18th century to 1930s Shanghai, where a calculating older woman (Cecilia Cheung) wagers her womanizing ex-lover (Dong-gun Jang) that he will be unable to seduce and then abandon a young lady (Zhang Ziyi) known for her purity and charitable nature. Their salacious bet takes shocking turns. Steamy Chinese romance co-stars Shawn Do, Lisa Lu. 111 min.
