If you loved Philomena, try Dangerous Liaisons
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Stephen Frears, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Philomena, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Dangerous Liaisons is
18th century France, a lavish ballroom, a whispered promise. A marquise and a vicomte engage in a delicate game of seduction and revenge, with pawns to be used and discarded. Frears finds the rot in aristocratic elegance.
