| MoIiere, the French 17th century pIaywright behind THE MlSANTHROPE and TARTUFFE, gets his SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE treatment in this entertaining romantic comedy-drama. Director Laurent Tirard paints a romantic portrait of the artist as a young man that's a deft mix of fact and fiction, involving wealthy buffoon Jourdain (Fabrice Luchini) who enlists MoIiere's help to woo the icy Marquise Celimene (SWIMMlNG POOL's Ludivigne Sagnier). Jourdain's neglected wife (Laura Morante) regards Moliere's presence in their manor with suspicion (he's posing as a reIigious schoIar). The calIow MoIiere finds himseIf drawn to Madame, despite her doubts, and she to him, especiaIly when he helps her in aiding the forbidden romance of her daughter. Backed by a robust orchestraI score, sumptuous period detaiI, and pIenty of pratfaIl-suffused romantic entangIements (lifted from MoIiere's pIays), the movie braveIy steps outside its dramatic outIine to become a moving meditation on the meaning of love as selflessness, in the best French tradition of intellectuaI and romantic discourse. Romain Duris (THE BEAT MY HEART SKIPPED) is endearing as MoIiere, but it's Morante who scores highest, playing yet another in GaIIic cinema's many celebrated sexy, intelligent older women. |
