Les Misérables (2019) - Trailer (English Subs)

Directed by : Ladj Ly
Produced by : SRAB Films
Genre: Fiction - Runtime: 1 h 43 min
French release: 20/11/2019
Production year: 2019

Stéphane (Damien Bonnard) has recently joined the Anti-Crime Squad in Montfermeil, in the suburbs of Paris, France, where, Victor Hugo set his famed novel “Les Miserables”. Alongside his new colleagues Chris (Alexis Manenti) and Gwada (Djebril Zonga) - both experienced members of the team - he quickly discovers tensions running high between local gangs. When the trio finds themselves overrun during the course of an arrest, a drone captures the encounter, threatening to expose the reality of everyday life. Inspired by the 2005 Paris riots, and Ladj Ly’s short film of the same name, Les Misérables is a provocative insight into the tensions between neighborhood residents and police.

Ladj Ly, Alexis Manenti and Anta Diaw on “Les Indésirables” (‘Bâtiment5’)

INTERVIEW
-
🎬✨ Step behind the scenes with our exclusive interview featuring filmmaker Ladj Ly and actors Alexis Manenti and Anta Diaw, as they discuss their compelling film “Les Indésirables” (‘Bâtiment5’). Premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and screening this Thursday at 5pm (Tokyo time) at the Yokohama French Film Festival!

🏙️ In a working-class neighbourhood grappling with change, “Les Indésirables” tells a powerful story of community, resilience, and the struggle for belonging. When Pierre, an idealistic young doctor, takes over as mayor after a sudden tragedy, he faces the challenge of balancing progress with preserving the heart of the community.

Ladj Ly’s direction brings to life a narrative that is both intimate and universal, exploring themes of identity, gentrification, and the power of local action. Anta Diaw and Alexis Manenti’s compelling performances add depth to the rich tapestry.

The films will be released soon in many countries, check Unifrance.org for release dates 🌏✨
