A brilliant film. No, he doesn't look like a Hollywood Moliere. But...

you found "Shakespeare in Love," a light fluffy entertainment to be WONDERFUL and meaningful and great art!
Moliere is a bitter sweet film which captures, for those familiar with the acerbic playwright's work, the soul of the French master.
The careful viewer will see the lead actor subtly change in demeanor and personality as the film progresses, as he is tempered by the realities of his profession.
The rich merchant also is brilliantly played, with none of the melodrama one would expect and receive in a S I L-like effort.
Does anyone remember anything about S I L half-an-hour later?
Moliere still reverberates; it not only has something to say, it says it eloquently, entertainingly, and powerfully.
