About Tartuffe ou L'imposteur (Comédie Française)
Tartuffe is a hypocritical impostor who manages to manipulate Orgon, a wealthy widowed bourgeois, by feigning devotion. Orgon ends up offering his daughter Mariane in marriage to Tartuffe, while he disowns his son Damis and intends to donate all his possessions to Tartuffe. Elmire, Orgon's young wife, whom Tartuffe is courting, will attempt to expose him, while the royal family intervenes to prevent the ruin of Orgon's family.
Directed by Georges Bensoussan, Tartuffe ou L'imposteur (Comédie Française) leans on a strong ensemble — Catherine Ferran, Jean Dautremay, Anne Kessler — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1997.
