Les Misérables
Directed by Ladj Ly
Stéphane has recently joined the Anti-Crime Squad in Montfermeil, in the suburbs of Paris, France, where Victor Hugo set his famed novel “Les Miserables”. Alongside his new colleagues Chris and Gwada – both experienced members of the team – he quickly discovers tensions running high between local gangs. When the trio finds themselves overrun during the course of an arrest, a drone captures the encounter, threatening… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I generally don't mind departures from the source material when they're done well, but I also don't know why, when a work is being adapted for the screen for the first time, the adapter feels a compulsion to change things that don't need to be changed, just for the sake of change. The FIRST screen adaptation of a work should just be, as much as is feasible, a straight adaptation of the work. Because there should be at least ONE screen version of a thing that is simply "that thing, but on…

It starts in 1815 post Napoleonic France and follows several characters in their struggles to survive and do the right thing in a cutthroat society in crisis. You can watch it for free from France, Germany, possibly other European countries on arte.tv

neutral · AI labelView post →like at least the Jean Valjean movie released last year was just taking advantage of Les Misérables being such a long book that you can make a two hour movie out of just his backstory and the encounter with the bishop that fully makes him want to be honest ACC is what, 150 pages???
neutral · AI labelView post →You don’t need to show every single thing, just the ones that narratively matter. Like however you feel about it as an adaptation, Les Misérables (stage not movie) works because it simplifies things without losing the emotional core of the story. There’s a reason why most musicals are under 2.5 hrs.
neutral · AI labelView post →Man I miss [email protected], I love musical theatre. The person who modded it took the username Prouvaire, like the minor character from Les Misérables, which I found pretty cool. Though I admit I'm much better at participating in one (whether behind the scenes or onstage) than at sitting down to watch one I'm not studying to better contribute to my own theatre group's performance of it.
neutral · AI labelView post →The fact that there's a new 3-hour film adaptation of Les Misérables out in cinemas right now is either eerily in-tune with the zeitgeist, or someone's idea of a sick joke.

If you had told me this absolutely boring ass waste of time would have even worse sequels - I'd have laughed. I also caught the Les Misérables musical movie and boy oh boy I don't have to explain.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just as Victor Hugo's novel is considered one of the most important books of all time, this movie may be one of the most important films of the of the 21st century. If you're expecting the musical - forget it - it's not. It's dirty and gritty and honest. There is no satisfying ending to the movie. The outcome of a single, individual story is not important. Published in 1862, Victor Hugo wrote in his preface: "So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation,…
positive · AI labelView post →There was surprise when France chose to submit 'Les Misérables' as their entry for Best International Film at the upcoming Academy Awards rather than Céline Sciamma's beloved 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire', but the decision makes a certain degree of sense. Where 'Portrait' is a timeless instant classic that speaks to the ongoing human condition, Ladj Jay's debut film is so immediate and vital for where France, and indeed Europe, find themselves now. Just as in Victor Hugo's novel, they are on the…
