Adapted from Pierre Lemaitre's award-winning novel, the film follows two survivors of the trenches: (played by Dupontel), a modest accountant, and Édouard Péricourt (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), a brilliant artist left horribly disfigured. Au revoir la-haut(2017)

The film is an aesthetic feast. Because Édouard has lost his jaw, he communicates through elaborate, cubist-inspired masks that reflect his shifting moods. These masks are the film's beating heart, turning tragedy into a piece of surrealist performance art.

Albert Dupontel’s (2017), also known as See You Up There , is a visually breathtaking and emotionally resonant historical drama that feels like a surrealist fable grounded in the harsh reality of post-WWI France. The Story: A Beautifully Dark Revenge Dupontel masterfully balances dark humor and deep tragedy

Rejected by a society that honors the dead while ignoring its broken veterans, the duo launches a monumental scam involving fake war memorials. It’s a biting satire of wartime profiteering and a poignant look at the "lost generation".

From the sweeping, chaotic opening trench sequence to the vibrant costumes of jazz-age Paris, the cinematography is exceptional. The whimsical, Morricone-inspired score by Christophe Julien perfectly underscores the film's quirky yet mournful spirit. The Verdict Au Revoir La Haut (2017) - Omar Watches
