Les Misérables (2000 miniseries)


Les Misérables is a 2000 French television miniseries based on the 1862 novel of the same name by Victor Hugo. The miniseries was broadcast in four parts. A three-hour English version was also released. This version is very true to Victor Hugo's novel. It maintains the setting, time period and covers the full arc of the story. The original French language broadcast was critically acclaimed and is considered one of the best television adaptations, especially in its home country of France. However the truncated English language version was on the other hand derided for its bad acting and is considered one of the worst adaptations. The producers opted to co-film entire scenes in English, instead of using dubbing. The mostly French actors struggled to deliver solid performances in English.
