Title: Old but a classic
Review: This filmed stage version of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme is a good follow up after reading the play. The subtitles are white and therefore at times difficult to read, but if you already know what's going on that doesn't hamper the experience. The French does go by at lightening speed which is a challenge. From a teaching perspective, the French is overwhelmingly fast, but again, if you've just finished reading the play, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, the film is old and looks it so students will need to be warned so they are more likely to see past the age and enjoy the play itself. The Comédie Franaise actors, set and costumes are certainly worth the language challenges.
