5.0 out of 5 stars A taste of baroque, 19 Aug 2009
Awesome unabridged production of a classic Moliere play accompanied by the music of Lully and a masterful interpretation of baroque dance, acting, gestures and lighting. The performances are fantastic with actors facing the audience at most times, moving in and out of the golden glow of the candles, bursting into song and gesticulating with hilarious hand and arm movements. The French is spoken in a very mannered style which for a non-French speaker is clearly evident. I found the scene where Jourdain is being taught French vowels very funny. And their are loads of comic moments which considered alogside the subject matter (principally Jourdain using his wealth to increase his social status) deserves admiration because at the time France (controlled by Louis IVX or the Ancien Regime) seems to have encouraged the purchase of titles to bolster the government's coffers. Perhaps Moliere was having a dig in front of the King! Lully's music is perfectly performed by the orchestra and the score offers lots of variety as does the dancing, which in the absence of the actual choreography is convincingly constructed. I would recommend this rather expensive DVD (shame it can't be found cheaper) to lovers of Moliere, Lully and all things Baroque. One downside was the extra feature which ended abruptly as if the feature was too long for the disc capacity?
