  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 ... read more »

  An excellent choice for a pleasant evening
  
  This is a charming film. Immensely enyoyable and Romain Duris as usual is brilliant. Transports you back into Paris of the 17th century. It is original too as ... read more »

  What happens next?
  
  Moliere is full of fun - an unusual, but totally agreeable film, one that you are forever wondering what happens next?.
