I walked into the theater to see Les Miserables late this afternoon with no expectations.
Maybe a thought that this was a modern 'woke' version of Hugo's classic. It isn't. It's a gritty, fast paced, police procedural set in the banlieues of Paris. Unflinching about what the police find there, and how the police act and react to a Paris that tourists never see.
Sobering and revolutionary.
A stunning find and a great movie.
