Molière. The name alone evokes a universe of incredible richness. The playwright was more than a celebrity and became the personification of his art. In 1644, Molière, not yet 22 years old, was producing and starring in his own plays. He was also debt-ridden and constantly chased by bailiffs. He was imprisoned for some time, then suddenly disappeared.
Many Molière biographies speak of the long and mysterious absence during this time in his life. What if, during this period, Molière met those that became the characters in his plays? What if he experienced the intense feelings that inspired his work? What if he encountered the woman who would give him the key to himself and impassion him like never before? In Molière, director Laurent Tirard supposes just that and examines what might have happened during this little known period. Far from cliché, Tirard plunges into the heart of Molière s life and art, exposing how, before he became one of the world s greatest playwrights, he was first just a man.
Frederic Talgorn s score captures the essence and emotion of the period with distinct accuracy while maintaining a perfect classical music perspective. The film is released on July 27, 2007, by Sony Pictures Classics.

This CD is very classical in nature. It is abrupt in some places, but for the most part is a good CD to read by, or to put on as you putter about the house. It's main theme is impressive, though a little short. It recurs throughout the CD.
I particularly like the little touches of tambourine that remind me of James Horner (Star Trek II). This is not for people who cannot go for more than 5min without getting bored if there is no drum solo or wild chase theme. That being said, most people with moderate tastes will find something that they like. This a relaxing collection of tracks with some more subtle edges of emotion.
I enjoyed the movie and the music, but I found the CD lacking because the music was in short spurts versus playing each song all the way through. Some are as short as :33 seconds. This is the first time I have bought a CD where the music matched the time played throughout the movie.
Humorous, thoughtful, well written, well acted, great costumes, perfect. Moliere should be one of the greats. A guaranteed surprise and great evening in.
