Die Legion der Verdammten

Die Legion der Verdammten (1982)

DramaHistorie

Victor Hugos Roman "Die Elenden" von 1862 wurde schon unzählige Male verfilmt. Zuletzt errang die mit Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe und Anne Hathaway stargespickte Musical-Adaption von 2012 drei Oscars. 1982 drehte der Regisseur und Schauspieler Robert Hossein neben einer vierstündigen TV-Version auch dieses werkgetreue, aufwendige und anrührende Kinoepos über die Zeit zwischen 1820 und 1840, das in Frankreich ein Kassenhit wurde. Lino Ventura spielt den Galeerensträfling Jean Valjean, der wegen Diebstahls eines Brotes verurteilt wird und sich nach 19 Jahren Zwangsarbeit ein bürgerliches Leben aufbauen will. Doch inmitten der Wirren um die Aufstände von 1832 unternimmt sein alter Widersacher Kommissar Javert (Michel Bouquet) alles, um den großmütigen Valjean wieder hinter Gitter zu bringen. Aufwändige und spektakuläre Verfilmung des französischen Romanklassikers Victor Hugo mit Lino Ventura als dem wohl bekanntesten Darsteller des Jean Valjean!
