Laurent Lafitte in his element
After businessman Bernard Tapie in the Netflix series TapieIt is to another French character that Laurent Lafitte will lend his features and his acting in his new film, and not to just anyone: Moliere.
The actor, director and resident of the Comédie-Française is as much a theater actor as a film actor. Capable of playing everything and not being afraid to do so, it is therefore obvious to see Laurent Lafitte come in The imaginary Molière the most famous actor and playwright in French history, to play him on the evening of his death, at the end of one last performance (trailer at the top of the article).
“I play for the king”
Directed by Olivier Py, French director and figure in the world of theatre, The imaginary Molière takes place on the evening of February 17, 1963. That is, the evening of Molière’s death, after the last performance of his play Imaginary sick person on the stage of the Palais-Royal theatre, ending in suffering. A death that has entered legend, also due to the circumstances in which the body was buried, since the Church at the time did not authorize the religious burial of actors.
The trailer appears to introduce one film at a time lively and intensely dramatic, with its necessarily comic sequences. Olivier Py like Laurent Lafitte are both men of the theatre, The imaginary Molière it should therefore be a multi-level mise en abyme of Molière’s person and work. And therefore an exploration of comic theater in tragic conditions.
Laurent Lafitte is surrounded in the casting by Stacy Martin and Jeanne Balibar, Jean-Damien Barbin and Bertrand de Roffignac. The imaginary Molière arrives in cinemas on February 14, 2024.
