I was up with the lark to read the Sundays before going to see Les Mis at the Curzon Chelsea. There were less than 30 of us to watch a two and a half hour film!
I'm not usually one for long films and am prone to drift off as in Lincoln recently in Nanaimo but I stayed the course which for a musical speaks volumes.....or in this case sings.......
There was the odd genuflection to Oliver Twist and it was slightly strange watching a film about a failed revolution in Paris in English but hey...........
It's a cracking film - some stunning sets, a crisp musical with three or four memorable songs with wonderful acting which has been brilliantly directed.
