La Comédie-Française - Le Malade Imaginaire

Filmed 5 and 6 November 2020. Argan, suffering from hypochondria, decides to marry his daughter to a young doctor... The troupe of the Comédie-Française, led by Guillaume Gallienne and Bruno Podalydès, excels in this comedy-ballet, which is both a satirical farce and a reflection on death. The direction by Claude Stratz and the original music by Marc-Olivier Dupin breathe new life into this classic by Molière.
