\"Dangerous<\/a>

Marco (Rufus Sewell<\/a>), a handsome and fun-loving guy from an established Venice family. And life is going just fine for him – especially after he falls in love with his sister (Moira Kelly)\u2019s friend Veronica (Catherine McCormack).<\/p>\n

Veronica and Marco are crazy about one another. But their happiness lasts only until Marco\u2019s father reminds him that he has to marry according to his station; that is marrying to a girl with parents with the right background. Marco accepts this, devastating Veronica.<\/p>\n

Veronica is intelligent, beautiful, modern and elegant. She is also a poet and a romantic. But since her pen wouldn\u2019t feed her or her family, her mother (Jacqueline Bisset) comes up with the most shocking career option: being a courtesan. Although she is outraged by the idea, sleeping with men for money sounds better than living in a convent. So after some training, Veronica turns into the perfect seductress<\/p>\n

Of course Marco is shocked and he is disappointed, especially when he is one of the very few men in Venice who is rejected by her \u2013 the other one being his own cousin Maffio (Oliver Platt<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now, Marco is stuck in an unhappy marriage, still madly in love with Veronica. Veronica still isn\u2019t over him and as events unfold, they will find it impossible to stay apart. But Maffio has sworn for revenge and when war strikes, Veronica might just lose all the power she has and witness the whole country turn against her, except for Marco…<\/p>\n

The movie is a lovely, romantic period drama with wonderful performances from both Rufus Sewell<\/a> and Catherine McCormack. Oliver Platt is always fun to watch, even when he plays the jerk.<\/p>\n

Naomi Watts<\/a> has a supporting role as Marco\u2019s wife. The scenery, costumes and the art direction are simply beautiful. It is romantic and thought-provoking. Catherine\u2019s character Veronica is really inspiring. She really had the guts to question the hypocrisy of her time.<\/p>\n

It is especially recommended for the fans of period dramas and Rufus Sewell<\/a>. You might remember Catherine McCormack from her short but very important role in 1995\u2019s Braveheart<\/a>.<\/p>\n
