Movie Reviews of Moliere

Movie Review: a Magnificent tale, almost impossible to forget!
Summary: 5 Stars

An amazing rare piece of gem. I am not sure at all of the historical accuracy of the film or Moliere's life, but this film did move me, gave me reasons to think, made me feel each and every character's presence on screen. Romain Duris is beyond words, he steals the entire show pretty easily, much can be said about him as Moliere in this film, but the lesser it is. Fabulous performances from Fabrice Luchini and Laura Morante. The chemistry between Morante and Duris makes you go speechless, they make an outstanding pair right there on the screen and the interactions between them are quite believable and will simply take you along with the flow of the film very well. Rich scenery, excellent character development and a superb cast performance is all you will get here. A film not to be missed at all.

Movie Review: comedy of 17th century theatre
Summary: 5 Stars

If you've read any of Moliere's plays and enjoyed them even a little, you'll love this film. The French followed in the footsteps of the movie Shakespeare in Love to come up with a delightfully funny movie about what could have happened to Moliere during the two years of his professional life about which nothing is known. He spent a short time in jail for unpaid debts of his theatre troupe, dropped off the radar for a couple of years and then transformed theatre of the 17th century, later influencing such genuises as Oscar Wilde. This movie is a silly, but brillant stab at what could have led to his comedic masterpieces, especially Tartuffe.

Movie Review: This movie is so colorful and clever!!! It is a true masterpiece of Satire!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is great! Every shot is like a beautiful photo. The script is well written and delivered with such subtly, such quick sarcasm and facial expressions! My Grandma wasn't sure she would be able to read the subtitles and keep up with the flow of the film. But after a while you forget you're reading subtitles, and the acting is so good that even the minor extras in the scenes make you feel as though you are in the room, watching it. I especially love how the director and the actors show, teasingly, the rigidity of the French Court. I loved it, watch it over and over, it's great.

Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful foreign movie! So often foreign films are depressing, artsy or down right weird. But this one is funny and wonderful, the acting is superb, and the scenes are reminiscent of Moliere's work.
The film is entirely in French, with English subtitle option. The story fictionally depicts what could have happened to Moliere during a short period of time early in his career. The story involves events which were supposedly the basis for his famous comedies. Simple storyline, great acting...a 'must see', if only for the "acting lesson".

Movie Review: Superbe
Summary: 5 Stars

I do not think that I can expound upon what others have written before me on this filme, but I assure you that if you should be at all curious, this is a wonderful romantic comedy. When I obtained a copy of this DVD, I expected to be entertained, but this was much better than I had expected...permit me to push you into obtaining your own copy, if you're at all sitting upon a fence!
