Germinal

This mini-serie is a true gift to all the lovers of French literature, history and cinema. If you are familiar with Zola's novel Germinal or not, you will fall in love with these soulful characters.

The story is depicted with such respect to the original one. You can only thanks the writers and the director for offering us the most accurate version of Zola's masterpiece.

The actors were chosen so wisely. There's not a single one who falls short.

But to me it is even more special as it is a reflection of a struggle for equality and a search for commun respect that we are still witnessing today.

This mini-serie is a must see.
