Moliere

This essential piece of cinema for romantics everywhere follows the fictionalised footsteps of what may have inspired one of France's literary greats, Moliére, to pen his infamous masterpiece 'Tartuffe'. Rotting away in prison and in a mountain of debt, Moliére's only hope of freedom is to help the buffoonish Mr Jourdain seduce a beautiful young widow behind his wife's back. Disguised as a priest, he moves in with the Jourdain family to begin a calamitous, hilarious and ultimately romantic set of adventures.
