Language: French
Subtitles: None
By revisiting Molière's hilarious masterpiece, Olivier Lopez sets out to denounce the patriarchal order, its cruelty and the denial of the aspirations of youth. With Olivier Broche in the role of Harpagon!
Money money money. Harpagon imposes on his loved ones and his servants an austerity that turns into a nightmare: he abuses his house and baulks at every expense, to the point of plunging everyone into deep distress. Walled in terrible solitude since the death of his wife, his greed eats away at him like a disease that gets worse day after day. Her children, Élise and Cléante, endure and dream of emancipation, whether in their way of living, dressing or loving. Hypocrisy and lies certainly reign supreme, but little by little, everyone will challenge an order in complete decomposition...
After Rabudôru, love doll, Olivier Lopez completes his diptych around money as a source of happiness and conflict within the intimate and family circle. Carried by brilliant actors, his Miser preserves the purity and power of the word, while integrating, at the heart of the comedy, socio-economic subjects of our time. A timeless classic, in which past and present intertwine to reveal the complexity of the human condition!
