The Upcoming has two copies of Ladj Ly’s multi-award-winning Les Misérables on DVD to give away. The film is released on DVD and digital on 30th November 2020.

“The most incendiary crime film to emerge from France since La Haine“  ★★★★ The Times

“Tense, explosive and urgent” ★★★★ Empire

 “Immediate and compelling…. Ladj Ly’s remarkable debut captures the struggle for life in the banlieues” ★★★★ The Evening Standard

“Gripping… a spiritual heir to La Haine“★★★★ Time Out

Ladj Ly’s explosive directorial debut Les Misérables premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, winning the Jury Prize, and has been nominated for a variety of awards including a Golden Globe and an Academy Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

Stéphane (Damien Bonnard) has recently joined the Anti-Crime Squad in Montfermeil, in the suburbs of Paris, France, where Victor Hugo set his famed novel Les Misérables. Alongside his new colleagues Chris (Alexis Manenti) and Gwada (Djebril Zonga) – both experienced members of the team – he quickly discovers tensions running high between local gangs. When the trio find themselves overrun during the course of an arrest, a drone captures the encounter, threatening to expose the reality of everyday life.

Inspired by the 2005 Paris riots, and Ladj Ly’s short film of the same name, Les Misérables is a provocative insight into the tensions between neighbourhood residents and police.
