Cécile's crush on Danceny is at least half that he's the only guy who talks to her, not at her, isn't it?

I swear, that girl is an object lesson on the dangers of keeping children ignorant and isolated.

Cécile is learning how you can't win against the bro club :

She's also the only character using 'bien' meaning very/really (as in 'je suis bien fâchée'=I'm really angry), and doing so often.

I thought it was simply an old timey expression (it has a nice old granny connotation today), but then other characters might have used it as well. Maybe it's always been a very goody two shoes way of speaking.

I am sure that Cécile de Volange's closing desk, where she can indeed hide everything she should want to hide, is not something her mother will come to regret

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar winners

Dangerous Liaisons / Uma Thurman as Cécile de Volanges

Year: 1988

Designer: James Acheson

While the Marquise gets the most eye-popping wardrobe in this movie, really all the costumes are good. I've always liked this fresh and springy-looking gown, especially with the little cap and apron. I thought at first that the pattern was of cherries (which would be, cough, thematically appropriate) or apples, but it seems to be strawberries. According to FrockFlicks, the same material was used in Marie Antoinette (2006).

Lettre XVII, Le Chevalier Danceny à Cécile Volanges

"(...) Et qu'ai-je à vous dire, que mes regards , mon embarras, ma conduite et même mon silence ne vous ait dit avant moi ?

(...) émané de vous, sans doute il est digne de vous être offert ; s'il est brûlant comme mon âme, il est pur comme la vôtre.

(...) Soyez donc l'arbitre de ma destinée."

Choderlos de Laclos, Pierre (1782). Les liaisons dangereuses, Durant-Neuveu, 382 p.

Discussion question for the book club: what if Valmont won the duel with Danceny, specifically with regards to Cécile?

I do think that, unlike Danceny, Valmont would have actively tried to protect Cécile's reputation in his first attacks on Merteuil. But, I think that if it came down to protecting Cécile or destroying Merteuil, Valmont would choose victory. He wouldn't ruin a woman for nothing, but would to further his aims. Would Valmont have been clever enough to win without hurting Cécile, or would her position have ended up worse?

Intimate Apparel: In 1905 New York, Esther is a lonely, single African-American woman who makes her living sewing beautiful corsets and ladies’ undergarments. There is warm affection between her and the Orthodox Jewish man who sells fabrics to her, but any relationship between them is completely forbidden. Seeking love and romance, Esther eventually embarks on a letter-writing relationship with a mysterious suitor laboring on the Panama Canal. When he moves to New York they embark on an unhappy marriage, leading Esther to realize that only her self-reliance and certainty of her own worth will see her through life’s challenges.

Les liaisons dangereuses: The plot focuses on the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, rivals who use sex as a weapon of humiliation and degradation, all the while enjoying their cruel games. Their targets are the virtuous (and married) Madame de Tourvel and Cécile de Volanges, a young girl who has fallen in love with her music tutor, the Chevalier Danceny. In order to gain their trust, Merteuil and Valmont pretend to help the secret lovers so they can use them later in their own treacherous schemes.

Propaganda under the cut!

The Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, Vicomte Sébastien de Valmont and Cécile de Volanges, respectively portrayed by Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Uma Therman, in the 1988 period drama, Dangerous Liaisons. Dangerous Liaisons is one my favourite movies. The scandalous and salacious story line, the elaborate and decadent costumes, the many grand French chateaux used in the filming, all combine to bring this masterpiece brilliantly to life. #dangerousliaisons #lesliaisonsdangereuses #stephenfrears #1988 #glennclose #johnmalkovich #umathurman #periodfilm #perioddrama #costume #18thcentury #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturyfrance #royalcourt #frenchroyalcourt #drama #still #movies #film #romanticdrama #chateau #chateaux #interiors #decor #design #decoration #interior #interiordecor #interiordecoration #interiordecoration #interiordecorator (at France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVFMZbIkm-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think the ages of the characters in Dangerous liaisons is what makes it work. Madame de Tourvel is a married woman, with the same status as contacts as Madame de Volanges. But Mme de Volanges is about the same age as Valmont. She probably has been tempted by him (or someone like him), refused by him (or another libertin), she liked and disliked him, all while seeing and hearing what happens to other women in court.

She could be slightly older. She knows things Mme de Tourvel doesn't even imagine, and can't possibly conceive (same as her own daughter). And it is not polite to mention so she won't. She was young when the libertin life was even more fashionable and widely accepted in court.

Mme de Tourvel is only 22. Even if she got married at 16, given that she lives partially separated from her husband because that is the way (they travel, visit people separately, etc), that she doesn't really spend time i court and given her religious views, she has both the naivete, the hope and the arrogance of somebody who has never left home but has status. She is socially in the same level as Mme de Volanges and she genuinely believes, as young people do, that she knows better (or, if humble, as much) as her friend.

Also... why do Merteuil and Valmont play with way younger lovers?? Nobody their age really trusts them, they are also probably tired of people their age too. They probably have gone up and down everyone in court already, as everyone their age has done too. They have each other (libertin fashion seems to be in decline by this moment), some social polite acquaintances and little more. The young ones, Danceny and Cécile and Tourvel, are their only real chances at trickery. Older people will know sooner and stop them better.
