Yes; France protects film for the life of the creator plus 70 years, using the year of death of the last living collaborator. Auguste Lumiere died in 1954, meaning the films will be protected through 2024.
Because they were so young when they made the films, and so old when they died, some of their earliest works will have been protected for 129 years!

Copying films is illegal, unless you own the copyrights to the film.
The copyrights on the novel ran out long ago. The copyrights on the 2005 movie are owned by Universal Studios and Scion Films in partnership, according to the notice on the DVD. The copyrights on the 1995 TV miniseries are owned by the British Broadcasting Corporation. A&E was also involved, but my DVD does not list them as a copyright holder.
