Tremendous epic. Has its faults, but otherwise it's a mind grower. Loved it.

Stupendous and monumental three-part version of the Hugo

Stupendous and monumental three-part version of the Hugo classic. Raymond Bernard's camera is often skewed (Carol Reed's Third Man was clearly influenced) and lit like early film noir. Harry Baur is perfect as Valjean, huge and modest, and partnered superbly by Charles Vanel's Javert. All the supporting performances are fantastic - naturalistic and understated - and the entire enterprise is as involving and meticulous as the best of David Lean.

I did some harm, I did some good

"I did some harm, I did some good. But more good than harm." Nearly a century after its release, this epic adaptation by Raymond Bernard remains among the greatest cinematic takes on any French-language literary classic, perhaps the single most substantial and rewarding. Despite its vaunted reputation, the scope seems to have been a tragic weakness in the film's later popular appeal; people see a runtime of more than four and a half hours coupled with an early release date and the interest just seems to dissipate. And that is a real shame, because this film is an actual masterpiece. Exceptional scope, on-location shooting, cinematographic flair (you thought The Third Man liked to use Dutch angles?), and a brilliantly restrained performance from Harry Baur all combine to make this a film that can actually match Hugo's efforts at character development. Despite the time commitment, the film moves at a surprising pace, keeping the entertainment value without sacrificing the commentaries on class conflicts and social evolution, as well as allowing subplots to take on considerable importance (the cruelty and decline of the Thénardiers is practically a film unto itself). To top it off, the film has received a gorgeous restoration from Criterion, giving it the framerate and definition that it deserves. I'm hoping we get a similar level of quality and scope in a modern adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, perhaps as a miniseries. We don't need added musical numbers or clout-chasing A-listers working towards their next vanity project to make great films, we need filmmakers with vision, an understanding of the source material, a lack of studio nitpicking, and solid budgets. (4.5/5)
