Depardieu and Malkovich.... Powerful Performances
This review refers to "Les Miserables" (region 2 edition)
This 4 part production of "Les Miserable", that was televised, is magnificent. It is the best I have seen. Gerard Depardieu was absolutlely Jean Valjean, the ex-convict who suffers and sacrifices on his journey to redemption. Javert, the lawman intent on the capture of Valjean, comes alive in the form of one John Malkovich. It is directed by Josée Dayan, and Valjean's feelings towards Cosette a more obvious romantic take. My French is limited, but I had no trouble getting swept away to the time, the place, the events, and with every emotion portrayed exquisitly by these intense actors. Charlotte Gainsbourg as Fantine, Virginie Ledoyen as Cosette, Christian Clavier and Veronica Ferres, as M. and Mme Thenardier, and Enrico Lo Verso as Marius add their remarkable portrayals as well.
The DVD is formatted for Region 2 viewers.Check with the sellers for languages, subtitles and features. I have the Region 1 edition(French Only, ASIN: B0002VJIGY ),an import from Canada, and there are 2 DVDs, each in their own snap case, with 2 parts of the 4 on each disc. Each disc running about 3 hours. The picture was very nice, clear, with good colors. There is a scene with Fantine in the cold stark streets, looking like death, and draped in a red shawl that took my breath away. There are some extra feautres on both discs(pertaining to Hugo, the story and the actors), but this may be a time when your French would come in handy, as they are all in the form of production notes, and all in Francais! I bought this new, and there were no inserts that came with it. The back of the box shows these DVD specifications: NTSC, Zones 1-6, Continent 2 DVD9.
If you love this magnificent work by Victor Hugo, you MUST see this version. The performance is powerful!
Merci Beaucoup....Laurie

It's never in stock
I love this version of Les Miserable but it's never in stock and I can't find it anywhere except in one place where the DVD is trying to be sold for $50.00...I'm sorry, I don't pay that much for any DVD unless it's a set with at least 3 or 4 movies in it.
