Les Miserables is a film adaptation of the period musical of the same name. Released in 2012, it followed the exploits of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict going to great lengths to find personal redemption at the height of the French Revolution. The film version, directed by Tom Hooper, sought to emulate the epic scope of the stage musical, and featured grandiloquent and verbose set pieces and crowded chorus numbers, with an ensemble cast led by Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, and numerous others. The film was a major box office hit, won many Academy Awards (Including a noteworthy Supporting Actress win for Hathaway), and set a new standard for movie musicals featuring live performances by the actors as opposed to backing tracks...in spite of largely receiving middling reviews upon its release.On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott welcome back Maggie Noel (Friend of the pod and late of the Rock Candy podcast) to help them through a viewing of Les Miserables. Join them as they slog their way through an obscene amount of extreme close-ups, marvel at just how British 19th century France is in the action, and make a lot of the same jokes everyone's already made about Russell Crowe's singing voice.(It's not good.)...with Lilz and Scott!

Oscar Month continues! Bev's couple of weeks off begins! She's not here to talk about The King's Speech, which is a classy movie that ended up being a huge hit, even though it's about a group of people that Ryan has never liked: the royals? A monarchy? In a democracy? Yet, credit where it's due, Tom Hooper does an admirable job of making a non-fan care about the king of England and his enunciation---and also Nazi-related---troubles. Colin Firth won gold for his work as the stuttering Prince Albert/King George VI who gets a job he never wanted while his supportive wife (Helena Bonham Carter) and unorthodox speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) are just about his only support system. The King's Speech is often quite touching and it's even inspirational, showing a privileged man have to deal with confidence issues, loneliness, his uncaring fellow royals and duty to his country. So don't storm off in anger. Just tune into the 651st episode of Have You Ever Seen and listen to one man's speech...about a speech. Well, Actually: while Slumdog Millionaire started the trend of the entire cast & crew in attendance at the Oscars going up on stage when the film wins Best Picture, the entire LOTR: ROTK cast & crew DID go up on stage the year THEY won Best Picture.

Our 2010 retrospective has come to an end. We say goodbye with that year's Oscar Best Picture winner, "The King's Speech," starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce & Timothy Spall. Directed by Tom Hooper and brilliantly written by David Seidler, the inspiring true story is among the hotly debated Best Picture winners of all time. While the merits of its Oscar wins are certainly discussed, we primarily want to know how the film holds up on its own fourteen years later. Join Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Alyssa Christian, Dan Bayer, and me as we discuss our thoughts on the performances, writing, direction, cinematography, its awards season success, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. It's been a fun retrospective, and we hope you'll go back and listen to our reviews for "Black Swan," "The Town," "The Fighter," "Toy Story 3," "Winter's Bone," "127 Hours," "Blue Valentine," "The Kids Are All Right," "Inception" and former reviews for "The Social Network," and "True Grit."

À travers les ruelles animées de Montmartre, Gerda Wegener, une artiste avant-gardiste des Années Folles, et son modèle, Lili Elbe, partagent une intimité artistique et personnelle unique à Paris. Ce duo brise les conventions en explorant l'identité et le genre à travers l'art audacieux de Gerda et la métamorphose intérieure de Lili, née Einar. En 1930, poussées par un désir profond d'authenticité, elles entreprennent un voyage médical pionnier en Allemagne pour que Lili puisse vivre pleinement comme une femme. Malgré les succès initiaux, leur amour est mis à l'épreuve lorsque leur mariage est annulé au Danemark. Leur histoire marque un tournant dans l'histoire des droits LGBTQ+, célébrant la quête de Lili pour être elle-même, au-delà des limites imposées par la société de l'époque. Un destin immortalisé à l'écran par Tom Hooper et son film « The Danish Girl ».

It was held February 11th 2011 at the Kodak Theatre. Tom Hooper's The King's Speech was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won 4, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a leading role. It was also the second year in a row where the Oscars were being hosted by two hosts. It wasn't Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin who hosted the previous year, but it was Anne Hathaway and James Franco who had the honour to host the event together. This was a way to bring in the young crowd and boost the ratings up. Given the negative responses the ceremony got, they did not do such a good job with Anne Hathaway doing much of the heavy lifting. The night was also memorable for Melissa Leo dropping a surprise F-bomb, a first for an Oscars event.Subscribe/Follow and check out the rest of the podcast!Listen to and check out all the episodes we recommended to each other during the Covid Lockdown here on Letterboxd.

C'était la mort de Joe Hawkins que je voulais votre raconter. C'est bien la chose la plus étrange que vous puissiez jamais entendre. Il n'y avait personne du Montana qui ne connût Joe Hawkins, Alabama Joe, comme on l'appelait là-bas. C'était un homme de plein air, je vous en réponds, mais le plus damné putois qu'un homme ait jamais vu. Un bon garçon, souvenez-vous en, tant que vous le caressiez dans le sens du poil, mais pour peu qu'on le blaguât, il devenait pire qu'un chat sauvage. Je l'ai vu tirer ses six coups dans une foule d'hommes qui le bousculait pour l'entraîner dans le bar de Simpson, alors qu'une danse était en train, et il planta son bowie-knife dans Tom Hooper, parce que celui-ci lui avait versé par mégarde son verre sur son gilet. Non, il ne reculait pas devant un assassinat, Joe, oh non, et il ne fallait pas avoir confiance en lui, tant que vous n'aviez pas l'œil sur lui. Car, au temps dont je parle, alors que Joe Hawkins faisait le matamore par la ville et piétinait la loi sous son révolver, il y avait là un Anglais nommé Scott, Tom Scott, si je me souviens bien. » Suivons ce récit… Cet enregistrement est mis à disposition sous un contrat Creative Commons.

AND THE WINNER IS...a let down? We have had so much fun this season with some really great films. Films that we called perfect, modern classics, innovative, surprising; and it all led to one of the most predictable Best Picture Winners. Surprising to no one, this was not on the top of any of our rankings at the end of this season, but we can't say we didn't like it. Colin Firth gives a moving performance because he can do no wrong. Geoffrey Rush was a charming supporting actor that matched Firth toe to toe, and Tom Hooper wasn't as annoying as he could be.

Chris and Alex return from their extended summer break with this discussion of the much-maligned musical Cats (Tom Hooper, 2019), a film whose reputation as a big-budget misjudgment has perhaps overwhelmed the intricacies of its uncanny constitution, and in particular how the narrative's negotiation of its A-list performers speaks to the vexed question of actorly labour and agency in an age of heightened visual effects production. Listen as they wade through Cats' unsettling feline character design and the integration of digital effects that build disconcerting bodies with multiple moving parts; theatricality and spontaneity in histories of the Hollywood musical; scale and the fantasy of space in director Tom Hooper's execution of the film's song-and-dance routines; editing choices and the presentation of blockbuster spectacle; and how the controversial digitised production of Cats taps into recent debates regarding the exploitation of the VFX sector and the many artists who build our CG-enhanced screen fantasies. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**
