Movies like Valmont

A modern retelling of 'Les Liaisons dangereuses', Cruel Intentions transports the story of sexual conquest and revenge to the world of wealthy Manhattan teens. With a young and attractive cast led by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon, this film provides a contemporary and provocative twist that will appeal to fans of Valmont.

Although it lacks the darker themes of Valmont, Pride & Prejudice captivates with its tale of manners, marriage, and misunderstanding in early 19th century England. Fans of period romances will appreciate the verbal sparring and repressed desires that echo the dynamics of Valmont.

Though focused on the rivalry between composers Mozart and Salieri, Amadeus shares Valmont's lush depiction of 18th-century aesthetics and complex character interactions. The movie is perfect for those who are captivated by elaborate costuming, historic dramatization, and intricate human relationships.

Directed by Sofia Coppola, Marie Antoinette offers a visually lush portrait of the infamous queen's life. With a focus on opulence and court intrigue, it shares the same fascination with the excesses of the French aristocracy as seen in Valmont, making it appealing for those who enjoy period dramas packed with pomp and circumstance.

A tale of forbidden love and societal pressures, Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence details the complexities of high society New York in the late 19th century. Much like Valmont, it weaves a story of passion and strict social etiquette, creating a rich tapestry of character and costume.

This drama, based on the same French novel 'Les Liaisons dangereuses' by Choderlos de Laclos as Valmont, is a must-watch for fans of aristocratic scheming and romantic manipulation. With a stellar cast that includes Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Michelle Pfeiffer, Dangerous Liaisons offers a more sinister take on the tale of seduction and betrayal.
