🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This Molière adaptation constructs a classic comedy of errors, relying on timeless themes of hypocrisy and medical quackery. The director translates theatrical convention to the screen through expressive sets and deliberately exaggerated performances.

Those who tire of subtlety will find delight in the broad, farcical strokes and grotesque characterizations. What lingers after the curtain falls is the sharp satire of human vices that never grow old. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Tonino Cervi
