Cruelty and Destruction of the Best Kind

This is a fantastic story of deception, corruption and destruction. Set in 18th century France, Close and Malkovich are two French Aristocrats who live to destroy the lives of others, purely for the sport. There have been other movies made that follow this same plot line (for example, Cruel Intentions) but this film is done exceptionally well with some high-caliber acting (and some non-so-high-caliber acting -- Keanu Reeves). Quite disturbing and well worth a look.
