The bourgeois gentleman

In "The Bourgeois Gentleman", Michel Galabru stars as Monsieur Jourdain, a nouveau riche social climber consumed by his desire for high society recognition, leading him to hire masters of music, dance, and philosophy in a quest for honors, decorations, and power. With wit and satire, this 1982 adaptation of Molière's classic play pokes fun at the absurdities of pretentiousness and the pursuit of status.
