Many would disagree but I think this one by Bille August is better than that. The French production of 1982 by Robert Hossein was good and was definitely longer and more detailed than this.

There are around 15-odd screen versions of Les Misérables including TV movies etc. Although somehow I feel Uma Thurman is a poor choice for Fantine. Danes acted up to the standard of this film's allover acting level, which is quite good. The two main young characters of the film are played nicely by Claire Danes and Hans Matheson. He is definitely the obvious choice for such type of lead roles. Liam Neeson is an acting genius and I would place this one perhaps as his third best, behind "Schindler's List" and "Michael Collins" of course. Rush brought that vintage English accent instead of the expected French accent, that's I think became more suitable.

If I am to stress one aspect of his totally excellent acting it would be his accent. Geoffrey Rush is magnificent as Inspector Javert. What is left out is left out, be it some characters that has no major relation to what the director thought to be the main story or some solitary incidents however interesting they might be. And that is why "Les Misérables" is a good film. What audience would appreciate is about making a good film, not following every bits of novel little by little. That movie seemed to be based upon an already abridged version at the first place. See Dumas' "Count of Monte Cristo" and you'll know what I'm talking about. That depends on the director's or screenwriter's judgement.

It is only to see what portions are left out and what are stressed. It is not possible to make a movie out of this marathon Victor Hugo novel (the original version I borrowed from library got around thousand pages and I had to settle for an abridged one) without leaving out some good portions.
