《伪君子》《吝啬鬼》《恨世者》……莫里哀的作品构成了鲜活又辛辣的社会风俗画，也以高级喜剧的典范地位屹立于世界戏剧史上。
以莫里哀及其作品为灵魂的法国老牌国家剧院法兰西喜剧院2017年复排《恨世者》，导演克莱芒·埃尔维尤-莱热以全新视角解读这部古典主义喜剧代表作，力图扎根于当代，激发经典之中的生命力。他重新设置了舞台，放弃原著中沙龙的舒适环境，而将构成社会缩影的八个角色放置在一个正在装修的豪宅的外部开放空间中，喻示着剧作与现实的连通。
在《恨世者》中，阿尔赛斯特爱上了活泼又轻佻的交际花赛丽曼娜，希望获得她真挚专注的感情，却遭到了赛丽曼娜的拒绝。在虚伪的上流社会中，坦率甚至尖刻的阿尔赛斯特显得格格不入，而他对爱情和社会抱有的不切实际的理想主义，更使他变得像一个笑话。创作于17世纪的《恨世者》让人们看到当时法国贵族社会在挣脱了宗教枷锁后，如何臣服于欲望，在伪善与勾心斗角中沉沦下去。

影片是一个发生在上世纪五十年代纳粹后重建时期的德国的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》故事，也是一部结合了童话、摇滚音乐以及舞蹈元素的公路电影。片中由于种族、经济因素不能自由相爱的双方是黑人吉米和富有的德国女孩露露。

Set in New York City in 1985, Act One of Millennium Approaches introduces us to the central characters . As the play opens, Louis Ironson, a neurotic , gay Jew learns his lover, WASP Prior Walter, has AIDS . As the play and Prior's illness progress, Louis becomes unable to cope and moves out. Meanwhile, closeted homosexual Mormon and Republican law clerk Joe Pitt is offered a major promotion by his mentor , the McCarthyist lawyer Roy Cohn . Joe doesn't immediately take the job because he feels he has to check with his Valium -addicted, agoraphobic wife, Harper, who is unwilling to move. Roy is himself deeply closeted , and soon discovers that he has AIDS .

As the seven-hour play progresses, Prior is visited by ghosts and an angel who proclaim him to be a prophet ; Joe finds himself struggling to reconcile his religion with his sexuality ; Louis struggles with his guilt about leaving Prior and begins a relationship with Joe; Harper's mental health deteriorates as she realizes that Joe is gay; Joe's mother, Hannah, moves to New York to attempt to look after Harper and meets Prior after a failed attempt by Prior to confront Hannah's son; Harper begins to separate from Joe whom she has depended upon and finds strength she was unaware of; and Roy finds himself in the hospital, reduced to the companionship of the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg and his nurse, Belize, a former drag queen and Prior's best friend, who meanwhile has to deal with Louis's constant demands for updates on Prior's health. The subplot involving Cohn is the most political aspect of the play. Portrayed as a self-loathing, power-hungry hypocrite, he prides himself on his political connections and influence, which he has amassed through decades of corruption. In the play, he recollects with pride his role in having Ethel Rosenberg executed for espionage . As he lies alone in the hospital, dying of AIDS, the ghost of Rosenberg sings him a Yiddish lullaby and then brings him the news that the New York State Bar Association has just disbarred him, destroying his final hope of dying as a lawyer. The play ends on a note of optimism. After his friends procure for him a stash of AZT , in 1990 Prior is still alive and is managing to live with AIDS. With his friends, he looks at the statue of an angel in Bethesda Fountain and talks of the legend of the original fountain, and how it will flow again some day. The play is deliberately performed so that the moments requiring special effects often show their theatricality. Most of the actors play multiple characters ( eg, the actor playing Prior's nurse also appears as the Angel). There are heavy Biblical references and references to American society , as well as some fantastical scenes including voyages to Antarctica and Heaven , as well as key events happening in San Francisco and at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park .
