Les Miserables - Thursday 7/2/13

I saved the best film until last this week. What an amazing production and story set in France at the beginning of 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the movie follows the lives and interactions of several characters, focusing on the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption. The singing throughout the movie was wonderful and with such a stellar cast including Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, it was totally brilliant to watch on the Imax screen. The child actors who played Cosette and Gavroche were unbelievably talented and in no way did the 3 hours drag by, you are drawn in from start to finish. Superbe, Vive La France - I half expected Susan Boyle to appear singing 'I dreamed a dream'!
