Moliere

WF and I have always lament that after LOTR (Lord of the Rings) series ended in 2003, its so hard to come across any really good movies that is really enjoyable. So far, for this year, we've watched Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Carribean, Transformers etc, all of them failed to meet our expectations.

But I would strongly recommend this movie, Moliere. Watch it.

The plot is well-written. The dialogue witty. The acting superb. And the setting realistic.

I walked out of the theatre 2 hours later feeling good. Its not those typical blockbuster movies with lots of CGI effects, explosions, adrenaline rush etc. But it is entertaining, humourous and intellectual.

If you read the movie summary and look at the poster, it won't attract you much. Moreover it is only shown in Picturehouse. And it is a French film (there are english subtitles though). But, this is what I overheard after the show from the french. Moliere did really exist in France. He's coined as the Shakespeare of France. And students in France have to study his works in high school. The movie is based on a certain period of his life. So at least there is an element of reality unlike fantasy/supernatural movies.

So... Watch it before it ends!
