VHS Movie Reviews of Les Miserables [VHS]
Movie Review: A masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whomever didn't understand why Belmondo played three or four roles obviously missed the point of the whole movie.
This is a touching story, that makes the parallele between the characters from Les Miserables, and the current characters from France during WW2. It is beautifully played, so raw and real. Belmondo, Boujenah, Giraudot, Celarie, Leotard and Rufus all play amazingly. What a cast, and what a director. Thank you Lelouche, for another masterpiece.
Movie Review: Every Reviewer's Favorite Movie? It's mine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely agree with several of other reviewers. Very few people know about this movie, but those who watch it usually love it. I'm not a movie snob, and i dont usually watch a movie more than once. But I've been searching to buy this movie for many years (On dvd format, since all the vhs recordings seem to be in terrible condition). But i am so happy to discover that Amazon Unbox and Apple Store finally carry it! I must have rented the tape from my blockbuster a dozen times. I was sad when I learned that they got rid of it to make space for other movies!
I dont consider myself a Les Miserable nut, but I love the musical and this Movie is simply beautiful. I can go on for ever discussing why, but just watch it. I can't recommend highly enough.
Movie Review: Beautiful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently watched this film -- quite by accident -- and have to say I was blown away. Beautiful -- amazingly unique adaptation/use of the novel. One of my favorite films of all-time.Movie Review: Long but worth the time
Summary: 4 Stars
Another French film told well. Nice to see some actors in roles you would not expect. Is a film that will make you feel good.Movie Review: Simply superb
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't review the script as this is well covered in other reviews, however I would like to coment on the acting and the adaptation of the original Les Miserables.
Jean Paul Belmondo is a giant of an actor and in this film he shows us what a tour de force really means. The casting was based on acting ability rather than star power or aesthetic appeal.
The adaptation is fantastic. I am a high school history teacher and use this piece in my world history and have seen 280 lb jocks reduced to tears by the moving storyline.
Summary of Les Miserables [VHS]
This brilliant film manages to reinterpret the story of Victor Hugo's classic novel, critique it, and investigate the nature of art and life on top of that--all in three hours that zip past, fueled by the dynamic performance of French icon Jean-Paul Belmondo (Breathless, Le Doulos). In 1900, Henri Fortin (Belmondo) is wrongfully imprisoned for murder; his loyal wife is forced into menial labor and prostitution; then in the beginning of World War II, Fortin's son (Belmondo again) helps a Jewish family elude the Nazis, setting in motion his own imprisonment, escape, and adventures as a criminal. Not only is that just the first half of the movie, there are also the story lines of the husband, wife, and daughter of the Jewish family, who each have their own struggles. The conclusion is joyous and heartbreaking. Director Claude Lelouch (A Man and a Woman) handles the entire movie with supreme skill, humor, and compassion. --Bret FetzerGeneral Video
