Les Misérables is an adaptation of the successful stage musical based on
Victor Hugo's classic novel set in 19th-century France, in which a
paroled prisoner named Jean Valjean seeks redemption. Starring Hugh
Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway.
With its Oscar campaign gaining inevitable momentum, this latest
adaptation of Victor Hugo's colossal 1862 novel wears its awards
ambitions on its sleeve. Short of guns blazing and trumpets blaring,
director Tom Hooper - who wooed the Academy last year with his
impeccable breakout hit,
The King's Speech - knows which buttons to push to get the attention of Oscar voters.
