This isn't a review so much as it is a suggestion. I re-watched this recently and it is quite excellent. The singing in this film is absolutely some of the best I have heard. It's fantastic. It is in concert form so I would suggest looking up the plot to understand what's going on because they aren't always clear about it. That's a natural by-product of it being in concert form. It is an excellent film to watch. I really like it and it is the standard for all performances of Les Miserables that I come across. All I can really say past this is that this one has my stamp of approval so (N). there.
