Gosh.
For 300 blasted minutes, it's just him and his deadpan face.
LOL I think that I would have liked more of Deneuve, being a nicely vindictive Madame de Marteuil

I thought Rupert Everett was GREAT and this is the first film where his actually doesn't look so stretched, as it had in the past few years after his dodgy face lift.
Not creepy at all, just AWFULLLLLLL.
shareHe was supposed to have that creepy vibe though, right? I mean, Valmont was not a nice man so that sort of makes sense that he would exude a creepy vibe.
shareI liked all the tilt shots emphasising his curved beak. It reminded me of Nosferatu. The voice-over had shades of 'Marienbad' and the music was a bit Barry Lyndon. All this thinking about a film with Catherine Deneuve in, I must be unwell.

Giving it another go and quite liking it, even the scenes which don't have Deneuve in.

Hmmmm, is Nastassia Kinski made up to resemble Deneuve? She needn't bother. ;O))

he had a few good scenes, but overall, i agree that his face was pretty unexpressive, sometimes creepy. what bothered me most was that sometimes it felt like he was tilting his face to the camera and turning it different ways as if he were trying to get the most flattering angle? lol. i don't quite know how to explain it. i didn't get a sense from rupert that he truly loved marie. i think louis garrel would have been excellent as valmont, but perhaps the age difference really would have been too great.
