Moliere

synopsis


Beginning in Paris the 22-year-old Jean Baptiste Poquelin, also known as Moliere, is not yet the writer that history recognises as the father and true master of comic satire. Far from it. He is, in fact, a failed actor.

Director Laurent Tirard roots the story in an intriguing fact about Moliere's life - a spell in prison for failure to repay debts. History loses track when he's bailed out by 'anonymous', but Tirard imagines his savior as wealthy trader Monsieur Jourdain. Jordain puts him up at the mansion and demands acting lessons, for he plans to woo a pretty, sharp-tongued Marquise by performing a self-composed play. Of course, the play is rotten and what's worse, Jourdain is married.

In an echo of Moliere's "Tartuffe", the hapless thespian poses as a holy man, providing the cue for a lot of cunning misdirection and embarrassing mix-ups.
