Molière à Bicyclette

A FILM BY Philippe Le Guay

A warm and winning chamber piece about two actors taking on The Misanthrope and trying not to strangle one another in the process, Philippe Le Guay?s Cycling With Moliere (Alceste a bicyclette) provides further proof of the Gallic writer-director?s talent for crafting finely acted, middlebrow dramedies with a heart.

Synopsis

A TV heartthrob embarks on a journey with a clear mission in mind: to convince his old friend and once great actor to return to the stage in the lead of Molière's The Misanthrope. But for three years this friend has lived in solitude, avoiding the pressures of the limelight. Can he be coaxed out of retirement or will his misanthropic ways get the better of him?
