Les Miserables (TV Mini-series)

France 2000, 173 minutes
Dir. Josee Dayan
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Action/Adventure, Drama, Television / Adventure

Feat. Gerard Depardieu, Christian Clavier, John Malkovich, Virginie Ledoyen, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Asia Argento, Jeanne Moreau

Aroview: Well mounted and faithful adaptation of Victor Hugo's tale of persecution and revenge set in early 19th century France, with Gerard Depardieu playing the long-suffering Valjean, and John Malkovich his arch-tormenter, Javert.

Although perhaps too lengthy for novices, this compares well with the many other versions, integrating most of the novel's subplots right to the bittersweet conclusion.
