    Molière and Shakespeare

    by Ulysse

    Molière was and is France's Shakespeare. For those who know something about his plays the film is excellent, using well-known snippets and situations to advantage. For an English speaking audience much of the humor is lost in the subtitles. This is not the film's fault but it helps to understand and listen to the music of the wildy comic French verse.

    France's Answer to Shakespeare in Love

    Delicacy: France knows how to serve it up.
    Beautiful movie, beautiful actors, beautiful sets.
    One would expect nothing less from the French when the subject is her contribution to culture and the arts. Isn't everything else a footnote to it?
    Shakespeare in Love: a great movie.
    Moliere: copies the formula of this great movie.
    Where Shakespeare in Love is a feast, Moliere is delectable.
    Enjoy

    A Thoroughly Delightful Film

    by PNV

    This film vivildly illustrates how theatrical comedy portrays human emotions just as much as tragedy--only in a different way. It also paints a deeply moving portrait of the French playwright Moliere. The acting is superb throughout. I laughed a lot and left with a tear in my eye. Altogether, a thoroughly delightful film. Your appreciation of the film will be enhanced, however, if you love the French language, and even more if you're familiar with Moliere's "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme."
