Henri Czarniak is a French actor of Polish origin, born on September 1937 in Mulhouse and died on March 1986 in Paris. His first name is sometimes spelled Henry in credits. Left too early to be truly known to the general public despite important filmography and recognition in the world of cinema, even across the Atlantic with Woody Allen, he would have been approached to take on roles "like Lino Ventura", his looks of gangster and big mouth helping him there. He died like in a movie: around a poker table on a Sunday afternoon...

Molière pour rire et pour pleurer poster
9.5

Molière pour rire et pour pleurer recounts the life of Jean‑Baptiste Poquelin, from his childhood in an artisan family to his rise as Molière, a central figure of French theatre. The series shows his difficult decision to abandon the family trade and join Madeleine Béjart to found L’Illustre Théâtre, marked by debts and repeated setbacks. While touring the provinces, he shapes his style and discovers the power of comedy. Back in Paris, he makes a name for himself with Les Précieuses ridicules, but his sharp satires provoke fierce opposition, especially during the Tartuffe scandal. Supported by Louis XIV, he continues despite attacks, literary rivalries, and tensions within his troupe, particularly with Armande Béjart. The miniseries also follows his growing exhaustion, his determination to perform at any cost, and his final breath after Le Malade imaginaire, the ultimate symbol of an artist who lived — and died — for the stage.
