About Le Misanthrope
Alceste hates all of humanity, denounces its hypocrisy, cowardice and compromise. But he nevertheless loves Célimène, flirtatious and slanderous. The virtuous thus launches into battles lost in advance which force him to flee.
Directed by Jean-Paul Carrère, Le Misanthrope leans on a strong ensemble — Georges Descrières, Michel Duchaussoy, Bernard Dhéran — 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 1977.
