Customer Reviews

For Moliere lovers only
I liked the movie but want to warn you that a knowledge of Moliere's works is very necessary to appreciate the humor. If you aren't familiar with the plays, you will probably think this movie is fairly boring. If you know some, especially two: Tartuffe, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, you'll love it.

The Raise of the Fraconphonie
Thre is no doubt about the fame of Moliere in France and many countries. He represents this part of the universal history when some countries in Europe decide to improve their national lenguages. Shakespeare in Elizabeth's England, Moliere in France and of course Cervantes in Spain.

Today nobody can doubt about the fame of Shakespeare or Cervantes... But apparently the french writer came late in reafirming the importance of the french lenguage.

The movie remind me in moments the awarded movie "Shakespeare in Love". Similar topics: ambition to be known and respected by the society, love and romance; and of course you need to include comedy.

It's a good movie and a good way to try to rescue the french lenguage.

Moliere
Fantastic romantic comedy with clever twists. Enjoyable throughout. The original music is beautiful. I am smiling just thinking about this movie!
