We are fans of films based on literary works, such as a book, short story, poem, or play. Screenings alternate between Mondays and Thursdays, and move around campus to make the fun more accessible to all. Reading the original is not required, but enriches our discussions.

6/5 7 pm. Encore Theater: Les Misérables (1935 version)
This acclaimed version of the classic Victor Hugo tale follows the life of Jean Valjean (Fredric March), a former convict who was imprisoned for stealing bread for his sister’s family. After years in jail, Valjean attempts to readjust to life as a free man, but he finds that many are not forgiving of his past, particularly the obsessive Inspector Javert (Charles Laughton). Perpetually on the run, Valjean finds comfort in the chaos by caring for the young peasant girl Cosette (Rochelle Hudson).
Runtime 108 minutes
