Just how heartbreaking is Anne Hathaway’s single-take rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” in Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables? So heartbreaking that professional film critics have alluded to sobbing during the solo, The New York Times has praised Hathaway for “devour[ing] the scene” and holding audience members “rapt with raw, trembling emotion,” and Hathaway herself has secured a Golden Globe nomination and a frontrunner position in this year’s best-supporting-actress Oscar race. Much has been made of the physical preparation that she underwent to play the tuberculosis-stricken Fantine in the iconic scene, but in a recent interview, the actress discussed the intense emotional deprivation she voluntarily endured as well.
