A scheming widow and her manipulative ex-lover make a bet regarding the corruption of a recently married woman. But when actual romantic feelings begin to surface, their games take on a more treacherous air.
Wicked and well-appointed, this is a deliriously sinful costume a drama.

Emotional cruelty through sexual manipulation is the rule of the game of this smooth transfer of Christopher Hampton's witty play, with an all-American cast, headed by Glenn Close and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The creepy plot still holds a certain fascination.

Close, Malkovich e Pfeiffer aproveitam ao máximo seus fascinantes personagens e os diálogos afiados do roteiro de Hampton, mas o filme é um pouco mais frio do que deveria.

Tantalizingly wicked -- watching it makes the color rise to your cheeks.
For a tragedy that carries a strong emotional kick, it's wickedly fun.

Witty, entertaining, if occasionally overripe.

Director Stephen Frears accelerates entertainingly through Christopher Hampton's wig-and-powder sado-comedy about sexual mind games in 18th-century France.
