The Les Miserables version I am choosing to talk about here is actually a made-for-TV project, but I felt it was solid enough that it might as well have been a 3-hour film.  It stars Gerard Depardieu as the main protagonist Jean Valjean and John Malkovich as his nemesis, Inspector Javert.  Ever since seeing Depardieu in the version of The Count of Monte Cristo he did, I’ve been sold on his superior talent to portray literary characters and, more importantly, to choose projects that aren’t going to be complete crap.
