Les Miserables

Les Miserables African French director Ladj Ly's first feature film plot, it not only inherits the writer Victor Hugo, the weight of the classic with the same title in last year's cannes film festival in France also admired the Portrait of a Lady on the Fire, represents the nation's oscars for best international film awards, and flattery became the first black have the title of the French director.

Ladj Ly's father is an immigrant from Mali in Africa, and the director grew up in Montfermeil, a suburb west of Paris in France. Most of the inhabitants are African immigrants who often suffer discrimination and unequal treatment. It was also the location for the film and the inspiration Hugo drew from when he wrote Les Miserables.

In the Ladj Ly version of Les Miserables, you can see Javert as the "law/evil law" in the original novel, but not as the redemption figure of Jean Valjean. In the end, you can see Gavroche as the wandering boy who participated in the revolution. In the end, however, luiz's goodness seems to act as a counterbalance, a glimmer of redemption at a crucial moment when we witness what looks like a human inferno.
