L'Avare

The story revolves around Harpagon, a miserly bourgeois, who has plans to marry the young Mariane while also arranging a match between his daughter Elise and Lord Anselme. Unbeknownst to him, his son Cléante is in love with Mariane, and Elise has feelings for Valère, a penniless young man whom Harpagon employs as a steward.

With its unique mix of genres, L'Avare offers a compelling portrayal of familial and romantic entanglements, all driven by Harpagon's insatiable greed. The performances by a talented cast, including Michel Aumont and Isabelle Adjani, add depth to this classic tale of love versus wealth. This film is a notable entry for collectors interested in French cinema and adaptations of classic literature.
