See You Up There (in French Au revoir là-haut) is a 2017 French film directed by and starring Albert Dupontel. It is based on The Great Swindle, a 2013 novel by Pierre Lemaitre.In 1920, Albert Maillard (Dupontel) is arrested in Morocco. He is interrogated by the police, so he tells his story, which started on the battlefield in November 1918, when he met Édouard Péricourt, an eccentric artist. Just a few days before the armistice, Édouard saved Albert's life, but he was disfigured in the process.

Adaptation Distillation

comment
Adaptation Distillation: The book is nearly 600 pages, and the movie doesn't reach two hours in length, so this is expected. Most of the plot is streamlined for the sake of runtime.

Con Man: After the war, Albert and Édouard set up a scheme to get a lot of money: they sell war memorials, get paid, but never build them. Aulnay-Pradelle also sets up a shady business: he traffics in the corpses and coffins of the war victims.

The young soldier killed by Aulnay-Pradelle at the beginning of the movie turns out to be the son of the gendarme interrogating Albert in the present.

Buried Alive: During the battle, Albert falls into a hole which is filling up with soil. He is nearly choked to death, but Édouard saves him. In an ironic echo, Aulnay-Pradelle falls down a ditch when Albert confronts him in a construction site and is buried alive in sand.
