<h2>'<em>Les Misérables</em>' - they are everywhere</h2>
<p>There was an article on <a href="https://www.theguardian.com">the Guardian</a>
website this morning about <em>Les Misérables</em>, the film by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladj_Ly">Ladj
Ly</a>. I've purposefully not linked
to the article here as it gives quite a lot (although not all) of the
story away, and the film will definitely be more impactful if you
haven't read anything about it. Suffice to say that is is well worth
watching - the description that's going around of a "updated version of
<em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Haine">La Haine</a></em>" is accurate. And
<em>La Haine</em>, of course, is widely thought to be <a href="https://www.bbfc.co.uk/case-studies/la-haine">as relevant today as
when it first came out</a>.</p>
<p>Anyway, I wrote a little bit about some of my experiences in France, so
thought they were also worth sharing here...</p>
