Enjoy the screening of Au Revoir Là‑haut (2017), a French historical drama directed by Albert Dupontel.

Set in France just after World War I, this sweeping tale follows Édouard Péricourt and his friend Albert Maillard—two veterans haunted by the horrors of the trenches. When Édouard devises a daring scheme involving war memorial monuments, what begins as a bold attempt at survival becomes a stirring commentary on loss, deception, and redemption.

As the story unfolds, the film blends sharp visual storytelling, powerful performances, and poetic moments to explore grief, friendship, and the moral ambiguities left in the wake of war. With standout roles from Nahuel Perez Biscayart, Albert Dupontel, and Laurent Lafitte, Au Revoir Là‑haut delivers both emotional depth and haunting beauty.

With its rich atmosphere and lyrical pacing, Au Revoir Là‑haut is a captivating inquiry into the aftermath of conflict—an elegiac reflection on artistry, memory, and the human cost of history that lingers long after the final frame.
