The star-studded adaptation of the Victor Hugo classic!
The saga of the noble-minded ex-criminal Valjean and his relentless pursuer Javert, of Fantine, Cosette, Marius, Gavroche and many other unforgettable heroes and villains, has secured Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel “Les Miserables” its place among the most beloved stories in the world.
“Les Miserables” masterfully combines action, compassion, sorrow, rage, forgiveness and love to draw us into the story of a courageous man’s fight against a legal system that condemns all those unfortunate enough to be born poor.
The production is directed by Josee Dayan, who has already teamed up with Gerard Depardieu in the successful miniseries “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “Balzac – A Life for Passion”.
“Quality mini-series, with splendid performances, a very authentic looking portrayal of the period and a mostly faithful adaptation of the book… A visual feast.” – Eye For Film
