Boise State's Department of Modern Languages and Literatures Presents Discussion of 'Moliére'

The Boise State University Department of Modern Languages and Literatures will present a film discussion immediately following the film “Moliére” at 1:45 p.m. Sept. 22 at The Flicks, 646 Fulton St., Boise. The film is rated PG-13 and the discussion following the movie is free.

Professor Mariah Devereux Herbeck will lead the discussion. “Moliére” is the story of the famous French playwright’s “missing years,” when he left Paris to avoid creditors and performed with a traveling troupe. Romain Duris plays Moliére, and Ludivine Sagnier, Fanny Valette and Fabrice Luchini co-star.

Leigh Singer of Film 4 calls “Moliére” is “a witty, lively period drama that expertly blends comedy and tragedy to create a worthy French counterpart to ‘Shakespeare in Love.’ ”

For more information, call Devereux Herbeck at 426-3692.
