Dangerous Liaisons, the ideal French romantic thriller in which love is portrayed as a game, is scheduled to be released on Netflix. The film, directed by Rachel Suissa, is based on a book of the same name written by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and released in 1782.

After breaking up with her fiancé in Paris, she moved on to attend a school in Biarritz, where she met surfing sensation, Tristan. The elite, however, has other plans for her, as she becomes the subject of a nasty bet between Tristan and Vanessa. Tristan, on the other hand, is desperate to win the bet since his blossoming connection with Célène has the potential to undermine his objectives and harm her.

She swiftly encounters the villainous elite of her new school, lead by Vanessa, a former big-screen star and Instagram queen, and Tristan, a dangerous and attractive famous surfer.

Check out the film’s trailer
The official trailer for Risky Liaisons was released in May and highlighted Celene and her new aristocratic school in Biarritz, where she became involved in a dangerous twisted bet between her fellow pupils Tristan and Vanessa. The film has a running duration of 1 hour and 47 minutes.
This film is comparable to the ’90s classic Cruel Intentions, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair, and was an American film version of Choderlos de Laclos’s Les Liaisons dangereuses. Novel-to-film adaptations are becoming more popular, with streaming behemoth Netflix recognized for conceptualizing and producing films based on literature for viewers all over the globe. The French film aims to modernize the classic literature. The book was also adapted into a play by Christopher Hampton in 1985.
Fans of romantic thrillers may also binge on Netflix films and episodes such as Windfall, The Weekend Away, and Into The Night. Giovanni Fiore Coltellacci is responsible for the film’s cinematography. Dangerous Liaisons will be available on Netflix on Friday, July 8.
