Molière (2007)
Une farce extraordinaire
25 September 2021
This is an extraordinary film. It takes one through an undocumented period in the actual life of Molière. And it actually reflects the irony and absurdity as well as the romance that Molière depicted in his work. This film shows that the writing of Molière from some 350 years ago still applies to our lives today. Human nature doesn't change. Social conventions change. But what it is to be human does not. Molière showed that in his work. This film reflects that through the lens of modern society.

And I must comment on the cinematography and the lighting. I haven't researched, but visually, it seems that this film was actually recorded digitally. It has a much more video quality than a film quality. The lighting is brighter and focus is pulled more quickly. I'm not sure I prefer it to film, but it works for this production.

Overall, a great way to spend 121 minutes.
