Les Misérables, directed by Bille August, is a non-musical dramatic adaptation of Victor Hugo's renowned 1862 novel. The film powerfully portrays the life of Jean Valjean (Liam Neeson), an ex-convict struggling to live an honest life after serving a lengthy prison sentence for stealing bread. He is relentlessly pursued by the determined Inspector Javert (Geoffrey Rush) against the backdrop of social and political turmoil in 19th-century France, as Valjean strives for redemption and cares for Cosette (Claire Danes), the orphaned daughter of the tragic Fantine (Uma Thurman).
