Before its release and after its incredible success at Cannes Festival, the contemporary reinterpretation of the French classic by Victor Hugo is a great candidate for the Oscar awards.
In Spain, Les miserables was awarded Best European Picture.
But it wasn’t that easy for this film directed by Ladj Ly because it competed against Border (Sweden) by Ali Abbasi, Portrait of a Lady on Fire(Francia) by Céline Sciamma and Yesterday (United Kingdom) by Danny Boyle.
Les miserables. When injustice reaches the limit
The secret of this French film is based on the current reinterpretation of a problem that still has no solution: abuses of power.
Policeman Stéphane (Damien Bonnard) joins the force to fight against crime in the Montfermeil commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris.
But his new partners do not abide by the law. Their abuse of power will lead to general outrage after a violent event that will immerse the whole city in chaos.
A current story not to be missed!
