Netflix is betting that Dangerous Liaisons will be rewritten in modern France. It is also releasing another version Choderlos de Laclos’ epistolary masterpiece July 8, 2022. The series was shot in Biarritz, France in spring 2021. Here, Rachel Suissa transforms the 1782 novel’s libertine aristocrats into teenager influencers.
What is the teen movie story? Celene, a pure and idealistic 17-year-old, leaves Paris to Biarritz, and plans to spend some time with Pierre. The young woman is as loyal as she is passionate about Pierre. The Basque Country and the new high school it has created are, however, tempting. The “elite” at her school will confront her, who was more interested than she was in books.
The queen of Instagram, a Marquise de Merteuil called Vanessa, and a Valmont French surfer champion Tristan are at the top of this pyramid. Celene falls for the young man and does not realize that they are involved in a perverse wager between Vanessa and him.
An entire program.
