  • Starring: Fabrice Luchini, Laura Morante, Romain Duris
  • Summary: Molière has been released from prison by wealthy bourgeois, Monsieur Jourdain, who settled the young actor's debts on the understanding that he will teach him the craft of the stage. Hungry for recognition, Jourdain is infatuated with the lovely but poisonous Climene, whose salon gathers together suitors and great wits. Trapped in this untenable situation, Molière will experience all manner of events that will open his eyes and his mind, both to life itself and to his work as an artist.

    It's like a breeze so slight it doesn't leave a tickle.

    The result is as off-putting as biting into a confection in which the sugar has been replaced by salt.

    I give it 5 points from 10. Why? 3 reasons. 1. A little more understanding script, please. 2. More action, please. 3. More life into this movie, please. But the movie is still watchable.… Expand
