A little late to the party, but by god I wish I hadn’t bothered. I’m confused by the ending though... why did it end on the two kids begging? To emphasise that the revolutionaries died for nothing |

I think it's wonderful. The production value is great, scenes are well acted. Sets look amazing and the spoken language fits the literal style.
If only the musical film version had this kind of production quality or understanding of the chosen language. I did miss the music from Boublil and Schönberg now and then, it could have been used in many scenes as a voice over, instrumental, in creative ways to respect the spoken, literal style of the film. The other choice could have been: fully embracing the language of sung thoughts, using pre-recorded tracks to create a better than life reality, which is essential for this non-literal language on screen, more like an emotional videoclip. Both versions could work really well.
But at least we now have one version of les Mis on screen that is watchable.

I've just dug out my DVDs of the BBC/Andrew Davies Bleak House because it's that time of year, but noticed they're also on iPlayer for the next 24 days if anyone's interested.
