What they share
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The World to Come, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Valmont is
A French aristocrat gets roped into a bet about corrupting a virtuous bride only to find himself unexpectedly smitten. His seduction campaign unfolds with the usual libertine flair before taking an inconvenient romantic detour. The film never quite decides if it’s a libertine comedy or a cautionary tale about falling for your own schemes.
