Dandin (1988): cast, story & where to watch
1988 · Film
Released in 1988, Dandin is a notable film directed by Roger Planchon.
What it’s about. Claude Brasseur stars in this cinemadaptation of the Moliere play Georges Dandin, ou le mari confondu. Written in 1668, the play has been somewhat dwarfed by such like-vintage Moliere classics as The Imaginary Invalid. Still, it was popular enough in its time to inspire imitation, most notably Betterton's Don Juan and The Amorous Widow. The plot, involving a wealthy man's avoidance of marriage until he is trapped by a crafty widow, is but a peg upon which to hang any number of comic complications and character vignettes. Brasseur's leading lady is the toothsome Zabou.
Who’s in it. Dandin stars Claude Brasseur as Georges Dandin, Zabou Breitman as Angélique, Daniel Gélin as Monsieur de Sotenville and Evelyne Buyle as Claudine, among others.
