Les Misérables (1995)

Les Misérables is a 1995 French movie based on Victor Hugo's novel of the same name. Directed by Claude Lelouch, France's Oscar and Palme d'Or-winning director, Lelouch adapted the screenplay from Victor Hugo's famous 1862 novel Les Miserables. Lelouch, who also produced and directed the film's cinematography, transported the novel's events, set in the 19th century, to France during World War II. One of the most important novels of French literature, Les Miserables has been adapted to the screen dozens of times since 1909. Claude Lelouch's movie adaptation is perhaps the freest adaptation of the novel ever made. 
Henri Fontin is a former boxing champion who has gone downhill. During the war, he becomes acquainted with Jewish lawyer André Ziman. He asks Fontin to bring his family to neutral Switzerland. During the trip, the Zimans read him Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables. Fontin is surprised when he discovers how many similarities there are to his own life story.
