Moliere (2008)

A re-imagination of the life and times of Moliere, one of the great writers of his generation. We join the story when Moliere is an impetuous 22 year-old, his theatre troupe is a failure, he is bankrupt and in prison because he can't pay his debts. It is mid-17th century Paris and Moliere is a long way from realising his legacy as the father and true master of comic satire.
