Dangerous Liaisons synopsis
The story follows a young woman named Célène as she leaves Paris for Biarritz. While in Biarritz, she attends a new school ruled by an Instagram star and celebrity surfer. Eventually, Célène falls in love with the surfer, not knowing that she’s in the middle of a cruel bet between the surfer and the Instagram influencer.
After reading this synopsis, you’re probably wondering what this film reminds you of. It likely reminds you of the hit ’90s film Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair. Cruel Intentions is the American film adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos’s Les Liaisons dangereuses. Dangerous Liaisons is basically the French version.
Here’s the official synopsis via Netflix Media Center down below:
"Célène, at 17, is idealistic. She believes in absolute love, and is more interested in reading than in social networks. She is getting ready for living apart from her fiancé, Pierre, for a while, leaving Paris for Biarritz. Very quickly, she has to face the evil elite of her new school, ruled over by the former big-screen star and Instagram queen Vanessa and the celebrity surfer Tristan, who’s both dangerous and seductive. Célène falls in love with him, but is a long way from suspecting that she is at the centre of a cruel bet between Tristan and Vanessa. Just how far will they go?"
We’ll share the official trailer once Netflix releases it. Make sure to stay tuned to Netflix Life for more updates on Dangerous Liaisons!
