The generosity and innocence confronted by perfidy will make you cry -- to viewers  all over the world she returns. 

A huge budget, gigantic casting… Fortune smiles again on the masterpiece by Victor Hugo, that becomes the most ambitious telefilm ever achieved in France.  Paris Match attended the filming. 
 
A new challenge for Depardieu:  "Les Misérables", this legend of French literature, adapted 19 times for the big screen and 4 times on television.  After "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Balzac", it is again under the direction of Josée Dayan that he puts his steps into those of the convict with a big heart.  At the side of Virginia Ledoyen in the role of the pure Cosette and of Christian Clavier in the one of the infamous Thénardier, Depardieu-Jean Valjean will be the hero of the return to T.f.1. [French TV station]  In exclusive rights, Paris Match helps you discover this international co-production, filmed in French and in English, for a record budget of 165 million francs.  A fortune worthy of the film's ambition: Jean Valjean is a beautiful banner to conquer the world.
