Review
My dear readers, I must bring to your attention a most exquisite cinematic masterpiece that has enamoured the hearts of audiences across the globe. This production, entitled “Les Misérables – 25th Anniversary in Concert” beholds all the grandeur and dramatic flair that you would expect from such a spectacular performance.
The plot is one of great sorrow and joy intertwined amidst a backdrop of war-torn France. The central character Jean Valjean, portrayed by the brilliant actor Alfie Boe, finds himself burdened with the weight of his own past and present struggles. The emotional depth in Boe’s performance is simply stunning as he navigates through this complex character.
The supporting cast is equally outstanding where Norm Lewis’ portrayal as Inspector Javert exudes sheer power and force, whilst Samantha Barks’ captivating performance as Eponine provides an emotional resonance that will leave you breathless.
As someone who has had a lifelong passion for cinema, I can attest to the fact that this production excels in every aspect of filmmaking. The score is simply breathtaking with legendary composer Claude-Michel Schönberg’s music seamlessly blending with Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel’s powerful lyrics. Whether it be the heart-wrenching “I Dreamed a Dream” or the rousing anthem “Do You Hear the People Sing?”, it is impossible not to be completely swept away by these powerful melodies.
This concert film was produced to commemorate Les Misérables’ 25th anniversary and showcase its success from stage to screen. It is also interesting to note that the original production premiered in London’s West End in 1985 following which it won eight Tony Awards in America in 1987.
The filming of “Les Misérables – 25th Anniversary in Concert” adds an extra dimension to this already magnificent spectacle. With Cameron Mackintosh at the helm as executive producer alongside Jeremy Sams directing, there is no doubt that this is a production of the highest calibre.
As a fan of the original movie adaptation myself, it is noteworthy to mention that the concert film manages to capture the raw emotion and intensity of Les Misérables’ story in a way that surpasses its cinematic counterpart. The stage musical’s energy and rawness are expertly translated by Sams through clever camera angles and close-up shots.
The special effect work in this production must also be commended as it brought to life some of France’s most notable landmarks. The iconic barricades, sewers and bridges all felt as though they had been crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
There have also been claims surrounding Anne Hathaway’s portrayal of Fantine, who many believe gave one of the greatest performances in her career. Her stunning rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” was so powerful it left both audiences and critics alike speechless.
In summary, “Les Misérables – 25th Anniversary in Concert” is an unmissable experience for all fans of cinema, theatre and music alike. It encompasses all the elements necessary to create a truly unforgettable viewing experience; raw emotion, exquisite musical scores, phenomenal performances and a captivating storyline that will stay with you long after its credits have rolled.
So do yourself a favour my dear readers, take some time out from your busy schedules and indulge yourself in this world-class production. I assure you, it will not disappoint!
