Les rustresMovie · 2018Carlo Goldoni's 1760 comedy has rarely been staged at the Comédie-Française, often overshadowed by more well-known works. This satire focuses on the Venetian merchant class, depicting men consumed by narrow-mindedness, complaints, and an absurd distrust of women. "The Boors" exemplifies Goldoni's theatrical style: realistic characters and natural dialogue, portraying life as it is. Goldoni, as Voltaire noted, observed his contemporaries, their relationships, and societal behaviors. His plays offered both entertainment and a sharp reflection of the morals of his era. Jean-Louis Benoit argues against seeing Goldoni merely as a recorder of reality.
