Les Miserables (2012)
Directed by Tom Hooper
this film based on the musical and novel of the same name stars Hugh
Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried. An
ex-convict that has broken his parole tries to do good but is pursued
by a policeman in 1800s France.
It seems that the plot
of the film largely follows that of the musical on which it is based
with the main theme being can a person change their nature. At times
the plot diverts a little too much from the story story of the
Valjean and Javert for my liking but over all works fairly well.
There are some good performances from the cast but when it comes to
the staging what is impressive in a theatre is less so when you take
away the restrictions and have CGI in your arsenal.
4/5
