This week on arts24, film critic Manon Kerjean takes us through some of the latest French cinema releases, starting with a new adaptation of Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables". Vincent Lindon plays Jean Valjean, opposite Tahar Rahim as Inspector Javert in a three-hour epic that brings a thriller-like tension to the classic story.
We then turn to "A Girl's Story", Judith Godrèche's adaptation of Annie Ernaux’s autobiographical novel about a young woman’s traumatic sexual experience in 1958. The film, starring Godrèche’s daughter Tess Barthélemy, was presented at Cannes this year.
