In failing health, Fantine urges Valjean to raise her daughter Cossette, who must first be rescued from the clutches of the drunken innkeeper Thenardier, his wife, and daughter, Eponine, played by Garrett Deagon, Becki Hasquet and Myrna Velasco, respectively. In the story of Valjean's unexpected pardon at the hands of the bishop and his rescue of a dying prostitute named Fantine and later her daughter, Cosette, we see the unfolding and graceful path of forgiveness, repentance, and conversion. It seems that if a director can get Hugo's big set pieces right (the bishop's candlesticks, the overnight rescue of Cosette, the death agony of Fantine, the escape through the sewers, the final confrontation of Valjean and Javert), whatever is done to the connective tissue in between tends to fade from memory. |
