Les Liaisons dangereuses 8Forman 9

 

"When I saw the play in London, I was sort of amazed at how differently I remembered it. So I went back to the book to find out if the stage adaptation of the book was so different or if it was my memory. I found out the stage adaptation was very, very faithful to the book, and that it was my memory that was playing funny games. In my arrogance, I thought my memory was better."
-- Milos Forman describing the novel Les Liaisons dangereuses (1782) by Choderlos de Laclos and the play "Dangerous Liaisons" made from it in an interview with Roger Ebert (November 12, 1989) about his film version of the novel, Valmont.
