[Machine Translation] A masterpiece of Moliere's version of romantic comedy, on par with "Shakespeare in Love"! Romain Duris' performance is highly acclaimed!

Filmed at the Palace of Versailles and other World Heritage sites, the lavish costumes and artwork costing over 2 billion yen elegantly recreate the life of the aristocracy of the time. Nominated for the Cesar Awards 2008 for Costume Design, Art Direction, Supporting Actor, and Screenplay. Winner of the Audience Award and Best Actor Award at the Moscow International Film Festival and the Audience Award at the French Film Festival 2007. --In Paris in 1644, 22-year-old Moliere is a fledgling actor, far from being the king of comedy he had made a success of with "Tartuffe" and "The Misanthrope". The theater company that he and his friends had launched with great enthusiasm was in financial difficulties and on the verge of bankruptcy. After being sued by his creditors, Moliere was imprisoned, and after his second release, he disappeared without a trace. What happened to Moliere during these months, which are left blank in all biographies of Moliere?
