Plot
This television film records Ingmar Bergman’s Copenhagen stage production of Molière’s The Misanthrope, presented as a guest performance at the Royal Danish Theatre. The play centers on Alceste, a man who rejects social hypocrisy and flattery, whose rigid principles are tested by his love for the socially adept Célimène.
