The Misanthrope

The comedy-drama, set in 1920s Paris, revolves around a man who challenges the hypocrisy and superficiality of his society's upper echelons, as adapted from Molière's timeless play. Ian Holm brilliantly portrays this resolute individual amidst the backdrop of a world grappling with its own moral standards. The film humorously dissects societal norms and the facades people hide behind while highlighting one man's relentless pursuit to expose these injustices through comedy, wit, and sharp social commentary.
