On the occasion of the release of the film "The Miserable" by Ladj Ly, available exclusively from 18 May on the new digital platform MioCinema.it and on the Pay Per View Sky Primafila Premiere, the designer Marco Dambrosio in art Makkox offers his particular point of view on the film by creating an original cartoon inspired by the events of the triumphant film at the Cannes Film Festival.

A review in pictures, in which the designer retraces the story of the compelling detective by director Ladj Ly set in the multiethnic suburbs of Paris: “I don't like French films, except some (follows a list of 300 titles)” – Makkox ironically states – “A list of 300 film, plus one: The Miserables. A (great) Ladj Ly movie ".

Inspired by the Paris riots of 2005, Ladj Ly's film "The Miserables" won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the Best Revelation Award at the European Film Awards, he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film and triumphed at the Césars obtaining numerous awards including Best Film.

A sincere and authentic fresco of the Parisian suburbs and the wretched of the new millennium, a thriller with a gripping and adrenaline rhythm, who does not abandon himself to easy convictions and does not fall into the traps of factionalism or victimization, where the border between good and evil becomes absolutely blurred, while all the characters become victims in search of a personal ransom or, more simply, survival. Because, just as Victor Hugo stated in his famous novel, “There are neither bad herbs nor bad men. There are only bad growers ".
