Les Misérables

Les Misérables (2018), a poignant drama and romance, primarily evokes deep sadness due to its portrayal of poverty, injustice, and tragic character fates. This is closely intertwined with strong feelings of love, particularly Valjean's selfless devotion and the romantic relationships, and profound empathy for the characters' struggles and sacrifices. A pervasive sense of melancholy underscores the harsh realities of 19th-century France and the enduring burdens carried by the protagonists.
