Dangerous Liaisons, which we watched in class this week, is one of those movies that has what can pretty fairly be called an all-star cast: Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves and Swoosie Kurtz. Some of them are bigger stars now than they were in 1988, when the movie opened; some perhaps not quite so big. And yet it's still a bit surprising to see them all assembled in one movie, especially a costume picture set in 18th century France. It's a little like going to an art museum and spotting movie-star faces in a painting by Watteau.
