03/09/2011 even luchini couldn't save this one. pretty costumes, but not much else: just a long-drawn biopic. See more 03/23/2010 Interesting, but completely all over the place. It is a great introduction to the life story of Beaumarchais, but not much going into details. See more 12/16/2008 Une comédie historique à grand spectacle, essentiellement portée par le talent de Fabrice Luchini. Elle est néanmoins susceptible de faire connaître certains aspects méconnus de la vie de Beaumarchais : tour à tour auteur de pièces de théâtre, marchand et espion pour le compte du roi, il fut aussi l'une des personnalités à l'origine du droit d'auteur. Intéressant sans être cependant flamboyant... See more 07/21/2008 A humorous, yet mostly accurate look at the French playwright, spy, and advocate of reform in France under the Old Regime. It's subtitled, but that shouldn't dissuade you from watching it. Thoroughly enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
