All the Light We Cannot See Premieres globally on NETFLIX November 2, 2023
All the Light We Cannot see is a beautifully shot, 4 part mini series. My wife is a huge fan of the book, and told me to keep my eye out for anyone adapting this incredible story. Leave it to Netflix to always find and create the films and series people want to see.
Episode one took me a bit to engage with but it was worth hanging on for. Having not read the book myself I was intrigued as to what direction the story would take. Fans of the book will take more from this obviously, as well as being transported into the world they had only read about.
THE SERIES STARS:
Aria Mia Loberti (Marie-Laure LeBlanc), Louis Hofmann (Werner Pfennig), Lars Eidinger (Reinhold von Rumpel), Marion Bailey (Madame Manec), Nell Sutton (Young Marie-Laure), with Hugh Laurie (Etienne LeBlanc), and Mark Ruffalo (Daniel LeBlanc)
SYNOPSIS: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, All The Light We Cannot See is a groundbreaking limited series that follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.
