Romain Girard’s documentary is an intimate immersion into the theatrical creative process, following rehearsals and performance to expose the labour behind a staging of Molière. Through a careful, observant lens it deciphers Tartuffe and the mechanisms of domination the play interrogates, tracing how a director’s intentions shape the actors’ relation to the text. The film privileges close observation and theatrical detail, offering a reflective, textured portrait of language, control and the pulse of live theatre.
In presence of Jean Liermier and Romain Girard, and by producers Chantal Bernheim and Patrick Siegenthaler (Actua Films).
