Les Miserables by Ladj Ly won the Cannes Jury Prize and was nominated for Best Film Not In The English Language - but is it worth a trip to the cinema for?
A firm favourite from Cannes Film Festival last year and one that went on to win the Jury Prize, first-time feature director Ladj Ly's film Les Miserables is a sweeping yet focused tale.
Ambitiously taking its title from Victor Hugo's seminal novel, Les Miserables continues to address the cycle of poverty, oppression, and abuses of power in the suburbs of Paris, France.
The film begins its story with Stéphane (Damien Bonnard), a new arrival at the Anti-Crime Squad in Montfermeil - the suburb where Hugo wrote his seminal novel.
Heading out on patrol of the streets with new teammates Chris (Alexis Manenti) and Gwada (Djebril Zonga), Stéphane witnesses the tensions between local gangs and ethnic communities, which are growing closer to boiling point.
Drawn into an incident involving a stolen circus lion cub and a young boy named Issa (Issa Perica), an encounter between the three policemen and a group of youths leads to an outburst of violence from one of the officers that sets off a chain of events destined for brutal retribution.

Ly's direction is appropriately documentary-like in its execution as it offers a grim realism to life in Montfermeil - so much so that President Emmanuel Macron felt moved to take action in real life.
Offering a wide scope to examine the horrific abuses of power by police in Paris, it also shows one with shades of grey in the situations that these officers find themselves in and yet simultaneously providing a scathing indictment of their authoritarian powers. Ly creates a captivating set of character dynamics and portrayals.

The one downfall comes through the slightly cliché and under-developed portrayal of the Romani community that clashes with the local Mayor's, resulting in some darkly amusing but somewhat reductive outbursts.
Among the cast, Bonard makes a conflicted protagonist who shows a streak of morality amongst the quagmire of corruption, yet finds himself pressured into assimilating or passively condoning their behaviours, while Manenti makes a believable villain in the tyrannic Chris.

Meanwhile, the young Perica offers a haunting turn as the mischievous but soon aggrieved and vengeful Issa, providing a conflicting alternative protagonist to Stéphane's journey of corruption.
As the complicated community relationships play out on screen we find ourselves tensing in the knowledge that a fiery finale awaits - and that it does.

The conclusion of Les Miserables feels brutal, urgent and also cathartic. It is little wonder it had such an impact in its home nation. It truly is a film of the moment that offers a relevant tale of deep social division.
Verdict
Les Miserables is a timely, provocative, and brutal depiction of police corruption and abuse of power in the suburbs of Paris, France.
Les Miserables is out now in cinemas.

thedailymirror--2020-09-04--ADVERTORIAL: Paddy Power expert reveals who to back in the big races to win big

There looks to be very little between the front two in the market in Dream Of Dreams and Hello Youmzain ( 7/2 ) in Saturday ’ s feature race , the 3.25 Sprint Cup , and the latter gets a narrow nod to follow up last year ’ s victory .
On that occasion , the selection came home five lengths ahead of Dream Of Dreams , but that margin was greatly diminished when the pair finished first and second in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June , when Hello Youmzain prevailed by a wafer-thin head .

So , the determining factor comes down to the old maxim ‘ horses for courses ’ with Hello Youmzain a confirmed lover of the North-west sweat bowl .
His first visit here came two years ’ ago when he went down by a cig paper in a novice stakes , but he put that right in no uncertain terms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite a shock at the time when turning over long odds-on favourite Calyx in the Sandy Lane Stakes .
The fancy ’ s third and last outing here came in last year ’ s renewal when he secured the first of his two all-important top-class wins , staying on well to deny The Tin Man by half a length .
His trainer Kevin Ryan is far too much of a gentleman to say anything , but he probably had a wee smile to himself winning here last year with Dream Of Dreams a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one before he was transferred to Sir Michael Stoute in 2017 .
Saturday ’ s fixture at Haydock also features the Betfair Superior Mile ( 1.45pm ) which can go the way of Ed Walker ’ s Stormy Antarctic ( 5/1 ) .
The two big ones in the market are both three and they ’ ll need to be pretty smart as over the last decade seven winners have been older horses which is in the selection ’ s favour .
He also comes here on the back of a storming run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ runner-up to hotpot Persian King in the Group 1 Prix d ’ Ispahan at Chantilly in July , a magnificent effort despite the winner only finishing fourth next time which can be forgiven as the front three were all solid top-class performers .

The seven-year-old can land this ahead of a possible tilt at Newmarket ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ II Stakes at Ascot .
Kempton ’ s September Stakes ( 2.35pm ) is a watching brief only as dual Arc heroine Enable ( 1/6 ) bids to solidify her credentials ahead of a historic bid for an unparalleled third victory in France ’ s most famous race .

Follow this advice from Paddy Power's expert for the weekend's biggest races and you could be a winner
There looks to be very little between the front two in the market in Dream Of Dreams and Hello Youmzain (7/2) in Saturday’s feature race, the 3.25 Sprint Cup, and the latter gets a narrow nod to follow up last year’s victory.
On that occasion, the selection came home five lengths ahead of Dream Of Dreams, but that margin was greatly diminished when the pair finished first and second in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, when Hello Youmzain prevailed by a wafer-thin head.
Both horses are also course and distance winners and while in truth no horse probably really likes the soft ground that will prevail at the weekend, again the duo are both proven on a surface with dig in it.
So, the determining factor comes down to the old maxim ‘horses for courses’ with Hello Youmzain a confirmed lover of the North-west sweat bowl.
His first visit here came two years’ ago when he went down by a cig paper in a novice stakes, but he put that right in no uncertain terms when returning the following May and causing quite a shock at the time when turning over long odds-on favourite Calyx in the Sandy Lane Stakes.
The fancy’s third and last outing here came in last year’s renewal when he secured the first of his two all-important top-class wins, staying on well to deny The Tin Man by half a length.
His trainer Kevin Ryan is far too much of a gentleman to say anything, but he probably had a wee smile to himself winning here last year with Dream Of Dreams a furiously-backed co-favourite as he once trained that one before he was transferred to Sir Michael Stoute in 2017.
Saturday’s fixture at Haydock also features the Betfair Superior Mile (1.45pm) which can go the way of Ed Walker’s Stormy Antarctic (5/1).
The two big ones in the market are both three and they’ll need to be pretty smart as over the last decade seven winners have been older horses which is in the selection’s favour.
He also comes here on the back of a storming run when belying odds of 37-1 to finish runner-up to hotpot Persian King in the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan at Chantilly in July, a magnificent effort despite the winner only finishing fourth next time which can be forgiven as the front three were all solid top-class performers.
Stormy Antarctic takes a fair drop in grade and it doesn’t matter if the ground approaches Noah’s Ark proportions for this fellow as he’s twice won on heavy ground. The seven-year-old can land this ahead of a possible tilt at Newmarket’s Joel Stakes or even the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
Kempton’s September Stakes (2.35pm) is a watching brief only as dual Arc heroine Enable (1/6) bids to solidify her credentials ahead of a historic bid for an unparalleled third victory in France’s most famous race.

A sobbing drug dealer was found with 70 wraps of cocaine and heroin stashed 'between his buttocks.'
Dean Woltman, 25, sobbed uncontrollably in court after he was caught peddling class A drugs on three occasions in less than six months.

During a strip search in June, when he was arrested for a third time, officers found 70 wraps of heroin and cocaine 'secreted between his buttocks' at Wigan Police Station.
Woltman was jailed for four years and eight months on Friday at Bolton Crown Court where he sobbed uncontrollably through much of the hearing.
Judge Timothy Stead sai d: "This is a case of a man caught three times doing exactly the same thing in Wigan."
He added: "What you were doing, although I do not suggest it was for business, was pedalling misery to people in Wigan.

"Rather than being charged or bailed, you were released time and time again under investigation. It is hard to see why.

The court heard Woltman, from Liverpool, Merseyside, came from a good family but started taking drugs after the loss of a loved one and a close friend.
After building up drug debts, he eventually began dealing himself.

Mr Treble said: "Like too many a young man, he thought he could handle it and he could not.
"He has a young son he knows he will not be seeing for a period of time.
"His partner is upset and angry with him and is trying to help because she knows some of the pressure he was under.
"His family are trying to support him. They are a good family who are very surprised he finds himself in this position.
"They are not encouraging him. In fact, they are very upset and angry with him. He was not brought up to be a criminal."
Mr Treble added that Woltman intended to earn a trade as an electrician or plumber following his release from his prison.
"He is very anxious to leave a lawful life and make a valuable contribution," he said.
"He is mindful that he is away from his partner and child.
"He really has learned a lesson and will not be before this court again."
Woltman plead guilty to three counts of processing class A drugs with intent to supply.

thedailymirror--2020-09-04--Extinction Rebellion 'blockades' printing presses of major UK newspapers

Extinction Rebellion is blockading several of the UK 's major newspapers in a bid to force them to cover more climate issues .
The protest group has vowed to stay outside the printing presses 'through the night ' .
New Corps printworks in Broxbourne and Knowsley in Liverpool are being blocked by around 80 activists , the group has said .
They are home to titles The Sun , The Times , Sun on Sunday , Sunday Times , as well as The Daily Mail and The London Evening Standard .
XR plans to block the routes out of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bid to stop papers from reaching newstands tomorrow .
The group says it is `` using disruption to expose the failure of these corporations to accurately report on the climate & ecological emergency , and their consistent manipulation of the truth to suit their own personal and political agendas . ''
A spokesperson for the group said : `` The right wing media is a barrier to the truth , failing to reflect the scale and urgency of the crisis and hold governments to account .
`` Coverage in many of the newspapers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ climate change , immigration policy , the rights and treatment of minority groups , and on dozens of other issues .
`` They distract us with hate and maintain their own power and wealth , profiting from our division .

Extinction Rebellion activist , Gully Bujak , 27 , said : “ You can not have a functioning democracy with a mainstream media that is ruled by a small , unrepresentative sect of society , who are in bed with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` The climate emergency is an existential threat to humanity .

More than 60 Extinction Rebellion activists have been arrested while targeting the printworks of newspapers The Sun, The Times, Sun on Sunday and Sunday Times, as well as The Daily Mail and London Evening Standard
Extinction Rebellion is blockading several major newspapers - disrupting Saturday deliveries - in a bid to force them to give more coverage to climate issues.
More than 60 activists were arrested at two sites as the protest group remained outside printing presses on Saturday morning after setting up roadblocks on Friday evening.
Delivery trucks were halted as more than 100 demonstrators used vehicles and bamboo lock-ons to block roads outside the News Corps printworks in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, and Knowsley, Liverpool.
The Newsprinters presses publish the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corp's titles including The Sun, The Times, The Sun on Sunday and The Sunday Times, as well as The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, and the London Evening Standard.
XR had vowed to block the routes out of the printing presses throughout the night in a bid to stop papers from reaching newstands on Saturday.
Hertfordshire Police said delivery lorries had not left the Broxbourne site, and 42 people had been arrested by 10am on Saturday.
Newsprinters condemned the protests as an "attack on all of the free press" which had affected workers going about their jobs and others such as newsagents who face "financial penalty".
The company said it had transferred printing to other sites, but that delays would occur in some deliveries of The Sun, The Times, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times.
Ministers and MPs have criticised the environmental protesters, with Home Secretary Priti Patel tweeting: "This morning people across the country will be prevented from reading their newspaper because of the actions of Extinction Rebellion.
"This attack on our free press, society and democracy is completely unacceptable."
Hertfordshire Police said officers were called to Great Eastern Road near the Broxbourne plant around 10pm, where they found around 100 protesters who had "secured themselves to structures and one another". More than 20 were arrested in Knowsley.
Under a banner reading "Free the truth", XR tweeted that it was using the disruption to expose the newspapers' "failure to report on the climate & ecological emergency, and their consistent manipulation of truth to suit their own agendas".
"Coverage in many of the newspapers printed here is polluting national debate on climate change, immigration policy, the rights and treatment of minority groups, and on dozens of other issues," the group said.
A spokesperson for the group said: "The right wing media is a barrier to the truth, failing to reflect the scale and urgency of the crisis and hold governments to account.

"They distract us with hate and maintain their own power and wealth, profiting from our division.
"We can’t move forward until this barrier falls."
Extinction Rebellion activist, Gully Bujak, 27, said: “You cannot have a functioning democracy with a mainstream media that is ruled by a small, unrepresentative sect of society, who are in bed with politicians and the fossil fuel industry.
"The climate emergency is an existential threat to humanity.

"Instead of publishing this on the front page every day as it deserves, much of our media ignores the issue and some actively sow seeds of climate denial.
"They thrive off of polarisation and division. They sow hatred in order to distract us, actively profiting from this division.
“To these papers we say this: 'you will not come between us anymore. For a night we’re going to filter out the lies and take the power back. For a night we’re going to show the world that you are vulnerable, just like us'.”
Not everyone was impressed with the group's actions.
Cllr Oliver Cooper, leader of the Camden Conservatives, tweeted: "Our free press is the cornerstone of our free society and the core of our democracy.
"Extinction Rebellion is trying to stop democracy. It’s as simple as that."
Meanwhile, Labour's shadow international trade secretary Emily Thornberry told Times Radio on Saturday morning: "This is very worrying and I don't really know what it is that is expected to be achieved and I know that for many older listeners it's very much part of their daily life, getting their paper delivered in the morning, and I just think it's wrong."
Speaking to the same radio station, Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood claimed XR had "lost sight ... of how to campaign" on a "very important issue".
"The Government has done much itself but obviously could do more and we need to work with the people to get that message across so we all can be more aware of the carbon footprint that we create," Mr Ellwood added.
"But what they're doing here is to alienate more people. I fear the organisation itself has been hijacked."

Hertfordshire Police assistant chief constable Owen Weatherill said officers were "working to facilitate the rights of both the protesters and those affected by their presence" but protesters were not co-operating.
He said: "The inconsiderate actions of a few people have prevented businesses from operating.
"Protesters ignored our requests to move location, so we have taken robust action to enable the roads to be reopened and to remove the protestors causing obstructions.
“Throughout the night, officers have worked relentlessly to ease disruption and their efforts have ensured that all main roads, including the nearby A10, have remained open throughout the incident.
"We remain at the scene and are doing all we can to ensure the situation is dealt with as quickly as possible, and we anticipate that further arrests will take place throughout the morning as we continue to clear the obstructions.”

Merseyside Police tweeted on Saturday morning that officers were still in attendance at the Knowsley plant, and 21 people had been arrested as of 10am.
A spokesperson said: "Officers are speaking with members of the group and are dealing with the situation."
Readers of The Sun and The Times were told on Twitter that the protest action could mean delayed deliveries of papers to newsagents on Saturday morning.
A spokesman for Newsprinters said in a statement: "This attack on all of the free press impacted many workers going about their jobs.
"Overnight print workers, delivery drivers, wholesale workers and retail newsagents have faced delays and financial penalty.

"This is a matter for the police and the Home Office.
"Thanks to other industry partners, printing was transferred to other sites.
"We apologise sincerely to any readers of The Sun, The Times, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times who may be unable to buy their usual newspaper this morning due to late deliveries."
XR protesters also held a smaller demonstration near Motherwell aimed at disrupting the distribution of Saturday's Scottish Sun newspaper.
Meanwhile, climate change protesters have been warned they risk a large fine if they fail to comply with coronavirus rules banning gatherings of more than 30 people.
The Met Police said risk assessments explaining how XR activists were minimising the possibility of Covid-19 transmission at a planned march in Westminster "did not meet the required standard".
The force said XR's latest round of demonstrations "pose a risk, not only to those involved, but to the wider public and communities of London".
On Saturday a procession of activists that set of from Brighton on foot a week ago is due to march the final stretch to Parliament.
They have been banned from taking a 20ft model boat named after teenage activist Greta Thunberg to the streets of Westminster.
On Friday Met Police Assistant Commissioner Louisa Rolfe warned the group not to take The Lightship Greta into an area stretching from Green Park to Lambeth.
