Having read the book I was worried about watching the film but it lived up to all my expectations.
Having a great story helps but bringing this tale to the silver screen must be a daunting prospect.
The acting was fantastic from all the main characters but I was particularly enjoyed the comic acting of the inn keepers and the tragic Eponine in love with a man that she could never have.
I usually get restless watching long epic films but this time I didn't!!
