Les Miserables (1998) short review

By on in Nineteenth Century

1998 Les Miserables

Pretty bad — see the stage play/musical instead. Set in the 1810s and 1830s, possibly worth a watch if you’re REALLY into the period and want to see Claire Danes (as Cosette) in some not-terribly-exciting ’30s gowns.
