Synopsis

Beaumarchais (French: Beaumarchais l'insolent), also known as Beaumarchais the Scoundrel, is a 1996 French biopic film directed by Édouard Molinaro and starring Fabrice Luchini, Manuel Blanc and Sandrine Kiberlain. The film is based on the life of the French playwright, financier and spy Pierre Beaumarchais, depicting his activities during the American War of Independence and his authorship of the Figaro trilogy of plays. It was adapted from a play by Sacha Guitry. The Hôtel de Besenval, a historic hôtel particulier in Paris that has housed the Embassy of the Swiss Confederation and the residence of the Swiss ambassador to France since 1938, served as a filming location.
