The False Secrets

By Luc Bondy

With: Isabelle Huppert, Louis Garrel, Bulle Ogier, Yves Jacques, Manon Combes, Bernard Verley, Jean-Pierre Malo, Fred Ulysse

Dorante, a penniless young man, takes on the position of steward at the house of Araminte, an attractive widow whom he secretly loves. Dorante’s former valet Dubois also works there and is planning a scheme to make Araminte fall in love with Dorante.

Based on his own critically acclaimed production of Marivaux’s comedy, Luc Bondy takes the play and its characters behind the stage, through the corridors and rooms of the Théâtre de l’Odéon in Paris, creating a new space between theatre and cinema.
