Our take

Philippe Le Guay’s homage to Molière’s comedy of manners finds a droll pair of rival actors in Lambert Wilson and Fabrice Luchini, two veterans of French cinema. A rustic island becomes the perfect setting for contemplations on acting and love, to be pondered—and debated—over scenic bike rides.
