Tuesday night maegwynn and I went to the Rialto to see The Last Mistress film that answers the question What would Dangerous Liasons look like if directed by Peter Greenaway? Gorgeous French drama about infidelities and betrayals set in 1835. Not a comedy of manners by any means, but a very, very mannered period drama.
