Les Misérables: Cheer up, love, at least your outfit looks nice
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The trailer for Les Misérables, directed by Tom Hooper (The King's Speech), has arrived; and isn't it gorgeous?
As Anne Hathaway's Fantine belts out "I Dreamed A Dream" (with almost as much soul as Susan Boyle), we are treated to scenes of hardship and struggle, lit up with the warm, sumptuous colour palette of a Jacques-Louis David painting. Not only does it manage to make child poverty look just darling, but even a tuberculosis-stricken, weeping Fantine is candlelit to perfection.
And what about those costumes! Only the finest silk gowns for these ladies of negotiable affection. Great job, Hooper; poverty, disease and civil unrest has never looked so good.
