On the eve of the French Revolution, the aristocracy was excessively rich and excessively idle. With nothing to do for amusement but meddle in the lives of others, a pair of depraved aristocrats plots and achieves the seduction of a naive 15-year-old convent girl. A recent Broadway hit, now a new movie starrring Glenn Close and John Malkovich.
