Apart from Gadebois, Bernard Campan, Isabelle Carré, and Alexandra Lamy also star in the film. Les Misérables is a French epic historical novel by Victor Hugo first published in 1862.

Inspired by the 2005 Paris riots, this Oscar-nominated film finds a provincial cop faced with escalating tensions in the suburbs where Victor Hugo set his famed novel “Les Misérables”.
