Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: Albert Dupontel adapts Pierre Lemaitre.
Reading “Au Revoir Là-Haut” by Pierre Lemaître, Prix Goncourt 2013, Albert Dupontel discovers visual writing, characters that are perfectly psychologically defined and a narration with continuous twists – just as many elements that allow him to project himself into a film adaptation.
If the universe of the novel – France between the wars – seems quite far from the biting comedies of the actor-director, Albert Dupontel knows how to extract the very essence of it. He thus signs an epic, visually creative fresco, which mixes tragedy, comedy, poetry, emotions and adventure, carried by an exceptional cast. On the front line, the revelation Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (120 beats per minute) in the skin of a broken mouth.
Out of 12 César nominations, Au Revoir Là-Haut leaves with 5 awards, including Best Director. With its 2 million admissions in France, it is the feature film best rated by Internet users AlloCiné among the filmography of Albert Dupontel, with an average of 4.3 out of 5.
Note that its sequel, Les Couleurs de l’Incendie, directed by Clovis Cornillac, is to be discovered in cinemas next Wednesday, November 9. Seven years after the end of Au Revoir Là-Haut, we follow the destiny of Madeleine Péricourt, interpreted by Léa Drucker, in a France which observes, powerless, the first colors of the fire which will ravage Europe…
