Review of "See You Up There" aired on T18
Albert Dupontel's film revisits the Great War with remarkable visual energy.
The review of See You Up There was highlighted for its broadcast on T18 on 1 October 2026. According to Écran Large, the film, adaptation of Pierre Lemaître's 2013 Goncourt prize-winning novel, places two Great War veterans, Maillard and Péricourt, against misery and post-armistice trauma. Their survival hinges on a patriotic scam and the creation of prostheses, giving Dupontel a playground for his complex camera moves and over-cut frames. The director deploys euphoric energy, pushing the theme of metamorphosis beyond the ordinary.
