Molière

Molière is a french film by director Laurent Tirard. It follows a period of life of the Playwright that is generally unknown to historians. It begins in 1658 and follows Moliere's interactions with a family, suggesting that his real life experiences inspired one of his most famous plays, 'Tartuffe'.
I like the braided decoration down the front seams of this dress
This dress is similar to the loose robes worn in the baroque paintings of nell gwynn, This could be another way to have Poppea in a slight state of undress. It seems a bit like a dressing gown type dress, worn only in her Boudoir.
I like the overall colour pallette of this film, and all the fabric manipulations and decorations on the dresses.
