Le Misanthrope

Having lost all patience with the flattery and hypocrisy of fashionable society, Alceste has vowed to speak and act only with complete sincerity. Paradoxically, he falls in love with the epitome of all that he despises: the cruel coquette Célimène. Disgusted by his loss in a lawsuit in which justice was on his side, Alceste resolves to abandon society once and for all, and asks Célimène to accompany him. Unfortunately, she is more in love with her frivolous lifestyle than with him. Alceste departs alone. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (French, 2 parts, 80 minutes and 61 minutes)
