Story Notes

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS unfolds as a symbolic and metaphysical fantasy. Through intrigue, romance, adventure, mystery, and drama, Hugo tackles social commentary on politics, religion and science. Driven by an extraordinary love story, Victor Hugo’s sense of life and love saturates our senses, emotionally and spiritually.

Other similar works such as Phantom of the Opera, Mask, The Elephant Man, Beauty and the Beast, Cyrano de Bergerac, even The Hunchback of Notre Dame, all have translated to the screen as great films. All these stories feature star-crossed lovers or forbidden relationships. However, this one trumps them all! It is far too valuable not to be a film. It’s LITERATURE!

In the words of Alfred Hitchcock, “Drama is life with all the dull parts cut out.” In the words of Ayn Rand, “What an imagination!”
