Bicycling With Moliere

In this warm, funny, literate comedy, two French actors portray two French actors, friends at odds with one another in every possible way. Lambert Wilson (MONUMENT MEN, MATRIX:REVOLUTIONS, OF GODS AND MEN) plays Gauthier: tall, handsome, and the beneficiary of a leading role in a wildly popular, wildly ridiculous soap opera. Fabrice Luchini (WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR) plays Serge, a serious actor-turned middle-aged curmudgeon who has met with far less professional success. Serge has renounced the stage to live on the glorious île de Ré, located off France's Atlantic coast. Gauthier arrives at Serge's coastal hideaway to try to convince his pal to return to Paris to play opposite him in a new production of The Misanthrope. When not criticizing each other in rehearsals, they bike along the island's windswept beaches and consider their options -- as personified by a local porn actress and an attractive Italian divorcée -- as well as the ever-present lure of island real estate.
