(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 12 - ;;; A breathtaking thriller set in a Paris suburb with a group of kids challenging the violent police has rewritten, in a key very close to the documentary, cinema on the theme of the suburbs, has received prizes - from directing in Cannes 2019 to the French candidacy for the foreign Oscar, to the Cesar including best film - and now it reaches the Italian public: it is I Miserabili (LesMiserables), Ladj Ly's first work. From May 18, MiCinema.It inaugurates the first digital platform dedicated to the filmmaker that focuses on the cinema hall that has already arrived to involve 130 screens or 300 screens according to what was announced by Andrea Occhipinti of Lucky Red from which it is natal'idea shared with Circuito Cinema and MYmovies . Ladj Ly is known in the environment for his commitment and his activism: a free cinema showcase, accessible to all, in Montfermeildove he was born and still resides and is a model. Respected ecarismatic ("maybe because I didn't go away and this makes the difference"), a figure similar to a French Spike Lee, launches the film in Italy. The Miserables "does not end here". The new singer from the suburbs, who took Victor Hugo's masterpiece; and made it an engaging film among the best of the season, it will go on with a trilogy: the next two will come back, one to the 90s and another, more political, will tell the historical revolts of the suburbs in 2005 focusing in particular on Claude Dilain mayor of SaintDenis. The history of the Miserables (with the excellent Damien Bonnard) is inspired by true or in any case plausible events and is sufficiently far from the stereotypes of these environments: they are all more or less poor Christs, with inadequate starvation wages where social unease unites everyone. In the film, as today in the meeting, Ladj Ly underlines the "police violence" which is the only promise kept by governments after the bloody riots of 2005, "while culture, social and political education are what it would take". Now with the pandemic "it is a catastrophe - says the director who helps himself with the NGO Banlieus Santé - they are powder keg areas ready to explode". (HANDLE).
