The TVI Take
2012 Best Picture nominee. Tom Hooper's sung-through adaptation of the Hugo novel and stage musical.
Moderate cognitive demands from tracking the sprawling narrative. High educational value from the French revolutionary context and its examination of justice, mercy, and redemption. The live-sung performances create raw emotional immediacy.
