Anne Hathaway in a scene from Tom Hooper's Les Misérables.
Join Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, accompanying them by Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Sacha Baron Cohen, Samantha Barks and Daniel Huttlestone, and giving them the best rhythm with the help of Claude-Michel Schönberg, is an idea that only filmmaker Tom Hooper could come up with (Oscar-winning director of "The King's Speech").
Although for the idea he has had a screenplay by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer; based on the musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg; in turn based on the novel by Victor Hugo. In other words, the recipe is very shared.
Thus, this new version of "Les miserables", which once again takes us to XNUMXth century France, this time with Hugh Jackman as the protagonist and with musical tonel. Jackman plays Jean Valjean, an individual who is sent to prison after stealing a piece of bread with which he intended to feed his nephews and his widowed sister. Russell Crowe plays Javert, the man who will make life impossible for him, while Anne Hathaway plays Fantine, a woman who suffers many misfortunes throughout her life.
With top-notch performances, it's no wonder the rain of awards awaiting 'Les Miserables', since the movie dazzle musical lovers by benefiting from an especially talented cast. In fact, Tom Hooper trusts his performers so much that he does not doubt that his face almost fills the screen in the moments of greatest emotion. One of the most remarkable is the performance of Anne Hathaway, fantastic, and only comparable to that of Hugh Jackman. A gift for lovers of musicals and, above all, for fans of the theatrical work of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil.
