Mnouchkine's "Moliere" - As a child

(1978) Ariane Mnouchkine wrote & produced this often impressionistic, visually stunning film on the life of Moliere. This is a more domestic scene, showing Moliere as a child and his early fascination with the theatrical. Memorable and more colorful scenes include the Carnival in Paris, spectacular and somewhat sinister, the candlelight performance of the traveling theater troop he later joins, and a fireworks-accompanied ascent of the Sun King.

I've been looking for it, too. Obviously there is/was a good DVD out there, as someone else posted this online. I remember being entranced by the visual imagery of the series, & its gorgeous soundtrack..
