About Elvire Jouvet 40
Between February and September 1940, Louis Jouvet worked with Claudia, ascending to the National Superior Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris, the second scene of Elvire by Don Juan de Molière. These theater lessons, re-transcribed in the smallest details, are the opportunity to watch the comedian learn. This one tries to undo what it calls “the covert me who possesses it” and the channel to invest all its role, to play without artifice. In 1986, Brigite Jaques-Wajeman excelled in this course to put on an internationally successful show
Directed by Benoît Jacquot, Elvire Jouvet 40 leans on a strong ensemble — Philippe Clévenot, Maria de Medeiros, Eric Vigner — 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 tv movie titles of 1987.
