To put together a comprehensive "paper" or overview of the 1999 film Cruel Intentions
| | Details | |-----------|-------------| | Title | Cruel Intentions | | Release Date | March 5, 1999 (USA) | | Director | Roger Kumble | | Screenwriter | Roger Kumble | | Based On | Les Liaisons dangereuses (1782) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos | | Production Companies | Columbia Pictures, Original Film, Newmarket Capital Group | | Distributor | Sony Pictures Releasing | | Runtime | 97 minutes | | Budget | $10.5 million | | Box Office | $76.3 million worldwide |
"Cruel Intentions" is an adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's 1782 novel "Les Liaisons dangereuses," set in the posh neighborhoods of New York City. The film's narrative revolves around Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), a charismatic and cunning teenager who makes a wager with his step-sister, Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar), that he can corrupt her naive and virtuous friend, Annette (Reese Witherspoon). As Sebastian sets his sights on Annette, he enlists the help of Kathryn and their friend, Ann (Selma Blair), to aid him in his mission.
Cruel Intentions is verified not just as a great teen movie, but as a daring adaptation that understood the soul of its source material. It proves that you can take the characters out of the 18th century, dress them in Calvin Klein, and set them to a rock soundtrack, and the hunger for control will remain exactly the same. It remains the standard by which all other "dark teen dramas" are measured—a seductive, dangerous, and unforgettable ride in a vintage Jaguar.
Sebastian, a notorious womanizer, makes a bet with Kathryn: if he can seduce the virtuous and innocent Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon), he will win Kathryn’s vintage Jaguar. If he fails, Kathryn gets his prized classic car and Sebastian must give up his promiscuous lifestyle. Meanwhile, Kathryn seeks revenge on her ex-boyfriend Court Reynolds (Charlie O’Connell) by having Sebastian seduce and ruin his new girlfriend, Cecile Caldwell (Selma Blair)—a naive teenager Kathryn already despises.
