The Libertine (Le Libertin) is a 2000 French historical comedy film directed by Gabriel Aghion.In the 18th century, the philosopher Denis Diderot (Vincent Perez) is hard at work writing and printing his Encyclopédie. Due to the Church banning the work, he runs the operation clandestinely in an abandoned chapel in the not-all-there Baron of Holbach's estate, with its eccentric and liberal inhabitants, led by the Baron's wife (Josiane Balasko), doing their best to protect Diderot. In the course of a few days, the Holbach chateau is visited by the painter Madame Therbouche (Fanny Ardant), invited to create a portrait of Diderot, and the Baron's brother, the Cardinal (Michel Serrault), who strongly disapproves of Diderot and the whole Enlightenment business. Hilarity Ensues as everyone tries to keep the Cardinal in the dark about the (very noisy) printing operation.Also features a pre-Amélie Audrey Tautou in a relatively small part as the Holbachs' daughter.Has nothing to do with 2004's The Libertine. | |

Quest for Sex | |
| The Libertine (2000) / int_2286675a | comment |
Quest for Sex: A minor sub-plot involves Diderot's and Holbach's daughters being sick of being virgins. Therbouche reads their palms and predicts that they'll lose their virginity to a circumcised man. That's exactly what happens as they seduce Diderot's Jewish assistant Abraham. | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| The Libertine (2000) / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: Madame Therbouche, the supposed portraitist, turns out to be a spy sent by the church to find out whether the Encyclopédie is being illegally printed. However by the time this is revealed, she has endeared herself to Diderot's ideals and wants out of the scheme. | |

Incompatible Orientation | |
| The Libertine (2000) / int_5a365ed2 | comment |
Incompatible Orientation: Diderot's daughter has an infatuation with the much older Jerfeuil, which causes her father to nearly backpedal on his liberal ideas (though Therbouche talks him out of it). Fortunately for him, Jerfeuil turns out to be gay. | |

Arc Words | |
| The Libertine (2000) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: A phrase that's repeated a lot throughout is "You can't stop progress," reflecting the ultimate defeat of absolute religious authority against science. The Baroness even says it directly to the audience in the last shot of the film. | |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion | |
| The Libertine (2000) / int_8387bb18 | comment |
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Averted. Madame Therbouche tells Diderot about how she had an abortion a few days prior, and she's treated as a tragic character because of it, not an evil one. Diderot is moved into changing his writing to defend the right to abort. | |

Everything Is an Instrument: The eccentricity of the Baron d'Holbach is displayed by his building and playing a pig organ. | |
