Bille August directed this Rafael Yglesias adaptation of the 1862 classic by Victor Hugo (1802-1885) about the quest of Inspector Javert to capture escaped convict Jean Valjean, originally an honest man who was jailed for stealing a single loaf of bread to feed the family of his starving sister. This new interpretation of Hugo's epic begins with Valjean (Liam Neeson), released after 20 years of cruelties and hard labor, reporting for parole in Dijon. Stopping at a bishop's house, he's treated with respect, but even so, he steals silverware, flees, and is captured. However, the bishop says the silverware was a gift, proving Valjean's innocence by giving him two silver candlesticks. Valjean is free, but the bishop asks him to treat others with equal kindness. By 1822, Valjean has risen to mayor of the village of Vigau, where he also maintains a successful factory. Joining the local police, Inspector Javert (Geoffrey Rush) is suspicious of Valjean's identity and eventually recognizes him as a former convict, but Javert has no proof when he carries his accusations to Paris. Valjean develops a relationship with Fantine (Uma Thurman), who lost her factory job because of local attitudes about her illegitimate daughter. The starving Fantine turns to prostitution, is arrested and tortured by Javert, and becomes ill. As she dies, Valjean promises to raise her daughter Cosette. Focusing on Valjean's life with Cosette (Claire Danes), the story is set amid the action of the July 1832 Revolution, a time when Cosette falls in love with a militant student, Marius (Hans Matheson). On the banks of the Seine, Valjean and Javert have their final confrontation. Bhob Stewart, Rovi

For those who have not read the book, this movie is a must-see. A great movie for couples, teens - anyone really. The depiction of Jean Val Jean is inspiring. The clean and worthless righteousness of living according to the law is juxtaposed against the messy and transforming righteousness of living out of love. Really a life-changing picture for those who have eyes to see it.
Again the picture of the converted Jean Val Jean as a good man - tender to the broken and powerful against the heartless - is so beautiful.
To those who have read the book, much of the detailed interaction between the various characters has been left out - which may be disappointing to some. With books being rather inaccessable (because of our busy lives) this incomplete rendering of that timeless tale is nevertheless, outstanding.
