After a lifetime of being confined to the stage, it is wonderful to see Les Miserables come alive at such an epic sweeping scale.
This was particularly swoon-worthy in the first half hour, from the opening shot through to the ripped pieces of Valjean's past flying over the countryside of France.
I salute Tom Hooper for approaching it with such ambition... and perhaps even more so for resisting the urge to apply it to the whole story, particularly in paring back the battle to portray it as the minor (relative to history) skirmish that it was.
Oooh I'm just making myself want to go see it again...
