Description
Bubbling with wit, stellar performances and lavish cinematography, Molierestars multi-Cesar-nominated French actor Romain Durisas Moliere, a down-and-out actor-cum-playwright up to his ears in debt. When the wealthy Jourdain Cesar-winner Fabrice Luchini offers to cover that debt so that Moliere's theatrical talents might help Jourdain win the heart of a certain widowed marquise, hilarity ensues. Disguised as a priest, Moliere becomes a guest in Jourdain's palace on the pretext of teaching Jourdain the craft of the stage, which annoys his wife, Elmire. But, soon after, the confrontation between Elmire and Moliere turns seductive. Too busy to notice, Jourdain enlists the aid of a well connected and scheming acquaintance, to help him pursue the young widow. Romantic yearning, human foibles and laughs galore all characterize Moliere, a delightful film that slyly captures your heart.
