Les femmes savantes

Madeleine debates with her daughters Alice and Camille about whether education matters more than marriage. Their Parisian apartment is invaded by cousin Henri with inheritance news, followed by scholar Trissotin who seeks the elder daughter's hand. Molière's plot gains contemporary edges in this 2026 adaptation, where classic comedy of manners collides with 21st-century gender debates. Dialogues brim with irony, costumes blend baroque with Parisian chic. The film balances farce and social satire, exploring whether women's intellectual ambitions can coexist with traditional expectations.
