UPDATE: Added Defoe’s 4K video
This is a lavishly mounted new French production from HBO. It takes place in the same universe and portrays the same characters as Dangerous Liaisons, but takes place some years earlier, portraying how the Marquise de Merteuil gained her power.
The Marquise de Merteuil is the corrupt, scheming woman portrayed by Glenn Close and Annette Bening in previous adaptations of this story about pre-revolutionary French sybarites. In this prequel, the cynical manipulator of the future begins as an innocent orphan seduced by the callous Valmont, who assumes a false identify and pretends to marry her, then disappears. This humiliation makes her determined for revenge. She sets out to obtain the skills necessary to seduce a rich, titled man, thus obtaining power of her own.
In addition to Anamaria, there is also a scene with unidentified extras at a debauched party, ala Eyes Wide Shut.
Videos, including the anonymous orgy participants, and the upgrade to 4K
Anamaria Vartolomei has appeared here several times. Her best nudity was in “L’Evenement”
She’s damn near perfect
