LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Enjolras and his Lieutenants, LM 4.1.6 (Les Miserables 1972)
“Be serious,” said Enjolras.
“I am wild,” replied Grantaire.
Enjolras meditated for a few moments, and made the gesture of a man who has taken a resolution.
“Grantaire,” he said gravely, “I consent to try you. You shall go to the Barrière du Maine.”
Grantaire lived in furnished lodgings very near the Café Musain. He went out, and five minutes later he returned. He had gone home to put on a Robespierre waistcoat.
“Red,” said he as he entered, and he looked intently at Enjolras. Then, with the palm of his energetic hand, he laid the two scarlet points of the waistcoat across his breast.

#this originally started silly and then became. devastating as well#hope u enjoy. i love you so much it's insane & im especially so grateful for our shared insanity these past several months#spending time with you this summer was so incredibly surreal!! happy 3 monthaversary to seeing enjolras irl in front of our own eyes.#here's to seeing you again irl at some point 🥂#les mis#les miserables#les mis 1972#eponine#eponine thenardier#marius pontmercy#mp4#not gonna tag this as c.osette despite her prominence bc that feels so rude to her. this video isn't abt her it's abt ponine being delulu#and literally just some teenage girl despite it all#oh also sorry for using ybwm (stolen version) but her voice sounds so much younger here. which is so important of course#lucy tag

Hello! I'm having a hard time finding GOOD adaptations of Les Mis (apart from the musical of course) because so far I have only managed to run into the bad ones (BBC 2018, the Liam Neeson one, the whole nightmaris works). Anyway, I figured this would be a good place to ask for recs of adaptations that aren't just a complete butchering of the source material! (Oh and I HAVE seen Shoujo Cosette). Thank you :)
Ooh! I have some favorites!
Just good all around:
1925 , French(silent film! there's a fan copy going around with subtitles but honestly , it's a silent film; you'll be fine if you already know the story)
1934, French (ABSOLUTELY not 1935) - this one's a Criterion release so it's not too hard to find it subbed!
1964 Italian miniseries -ten parts, fantastic all the way through, actually paces itself well enough to spend real time on the politics in the second half!
Good in Certain Specific Ways
1972, French: lots of focus on the Amis and Gavroche and Paris! Not so much on Valjean, Cosette, and Fantine. But what it does do well is SO good even if they keep stealing Bahorel's lines for other characters, do NOT talk to me about how he's a Minor Character when apparently he has enough scenes to feed an army , and not something easy to find in adaptations, that I think it's worth watching.
1967 BBC, English: a tv miniseries that is half about the best English adaptation I've ever seen, and half ...very not that. The original writer genuinely died halfway through the making of this and whoo boy you can tell, but those first few episodes are really good and in particular have some of the best work with Javert's character that I've ever seen.
1995, French: set in the first few decades of the 20th century, not a direct adaptation but rather a study of how the themes in Les Miserables repeat across multiple eras and lives. One of the most intense and painful Les Mis films I've seen but also one that really digs into its meaning , and the importance of how a story can affect people. VERY worth seeking out.
Not a Filmed Adaptation But Genuinely One of the Best:
The manga by Takahiro Arai, available in Japanese, French, and English ! the last of the 4 volume English omnibus editions is coming out this winter. Arai is a clear fan of the novel and there's so much care put into this, it's a great adaptation and a great manga in its own right.
As to where to find all these--well the English manga omnibus is being released by Seven Seas, but the others, it's going to kind of depend? There's so many Issues with various videos being available only in some locations, but I bet if you ask other fans here who are watching or have watched versions you're interested in, they can help you!
I hope you find some new favorites here!:D
#...don't ask me though because I'm currently transferring my libraries between computers ><#or I'd have offered

The two Master of Ceremonies of Cabaret, yesterday and today!.
Life is a Cabaret! 🎭
What a night! Last night, Eddie and company celebrated Mr. Joel Grey's 92nd birthday at Cabaret New York at the Kit Kat Club. Joel Grey who performed the Master of Ceremonies of "Cabaret" on Broadway in 1966, and reprised this role in the 1972 film adaptation, directed by Bob Fosse, was in the audience, so was John Kander who wrote all the original music. Happy Birthday, Joel! 🎂
📷 My screenshots from Arthur Jones IG Stories.
📸 Memories: And in this old photo, Eddie with Joel Grey during Les Miserables' luncheon, at the Four Seasons Restaurant, on December 11, 2012, in New York.

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - A Cab Runs in English and Barks in Slang, LM 4.8.4 (Les Miserables 1972)
Éponine caught Montparnasse’s hand.
“Take care,” said he, “you’ll cut yourself, I’ve a knife open.”
...
“My good friend, Mr. Montparnasse,” said Éponine, “I entreat you, you are a good fellow, don’t enter.”
“Take care, you’ll cut yourself,” replied Montparnasse.
...
“Well, go in, then, the rest of you,” exclaimed Montparnasse. “Do the job. I’ll stay here with the girl, and if she fails us—”
He flashed the knife, which he held open in his hand, in the light of the lantern.
...
As they went, Montparnasse muttered:—
“Never mind! if they had wanted, I’d have cut her throat.”
