《伪君子》写伪装圣洁的教会骗子答尔丢夫混进商人奥尔恭家,图谋勾引其妻子并夺取其家财,最后真相败露,锒镗入狱。剧作深刻揭露了教会的虚伪和丑恶,答尔丢夫也成为“伪君子”的代名词。其剧作在许多方面突破古典主义的陈规旧套,结构严谨,人物性格和矛盾冲突鲜明突出,语言机智生动,手法夸张滑稽,风格泼辣尖利,对世界喜剧艺术的发展有深远的影响。

Lautrec (1999) [Movie] Douban WikiData TMDB IMDb
Lautrec
other title: 洛特雷克 / Toulouse-Lautrec (Spain)
Realistic biography of the famous french painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This time, the focus is not on his work or his life at the Moulin Rouge (like in the John Huston's movie of the same title) but on the life of Lautrec himself, espacially his love relation with his model Suzanne (played with great talent by the marvelous Elza Zylberstein). Like in Minnelli's Van Gogh biography (Lust for life, 1957), movie director Planchon makes painting with the camera, especially in the firt hour. The times and the soul of the period (end of the XIXe century) is well respected. Beautiful movie!
