Summary
LA COMEDIE- FRANCAISE is the oldest continuous repertory company in the world, founded in Paris in the late 17th century. This is the first time a documentary filmmaker has been allowed to look at all the aspects of the work of this great theatrical company.. Sequences in the film include sections of plays, casting, set and costume design, administrative meetings and rehearsals and performances of four classic French plays,℗¡Don Juan℗¡by Moli©·re,℗¡La Thebaide℗¡by Racine,℗¡La Double Inconstance℗¡by Marivaux and℗¡Occupe-toi d'Amelie℗¡by Feydeau.. "LA COM©DIE-FRAN©јAISE is a multifaceted exploration of the art and commerce of theaterђ́ŒWhat emerges from this epic work of nonfiction is a rare glimpse into what makes theater theater and what makes film, in the right hands, an art." ђ́ا Michael Blowen, Boston Globe
