Opis filmu

Opis oryginalny: francuski

Argan reigns over a court of disbelieving and ignorant doctors who abuse his weaknesses. Tyrannical father, unfortunate hypochondriac, obsessed with his neuroses, he wishes to marry his daughter Angelique to the nephew of Monsieur Purgon, his faithful attending physician. But the latter, in love with young Cléante, resists the risk of being sent to the convent. The odious stepmother Béline only fuels the conflict. It will take the stubbornness and cunning of the servant Toinette for the masks to fall…. Written by a weakened Molière, his latest play is, however, one of his most brilliant comedies - as if he had mustered all the resources of his genius to reach the pinnacle of his art. A timeless spectacle!
