Moliere
2006
1644, Paris, and 22-year-old Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, also known as Molière, is not yet the writer that history recognizes as the father and true master of comic satire, author of The Misanthrope and Tartuffe, and a dramatist to rank alongside Shakespeare and Sophocles.

A new take at French writer's life
French Director Tirard looks at Moliere's life from a new angle. Humor (Luchini is very funny), drama and love make it worth watching. The costumes and French villages in this film are breathtaking.

Comedie Francaise
'Moliere' is a sparkling comedy of manners which imagines an episode in Moliere's life when he is placed in a situation that forces him into a drama not dissimilar to one of his plays. The characters are larger than life and tragedy hovers on the edge of the comedy like a hawk hovering over a field mouse. In a touching and witty juxtaposition between the theatre and reality, Moliere is forced to confront his playwriting ideals and ambitions. Totally engaging throughout and beautifully shot, this is two hours of magical filmaking at its very best.
