Albert Dupontel’s giddily ambitious adaption of Pierre Lemaitre’s novel, The Great Swindle (honored with the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 2013), is a dizzying genre-balancing act that swirls across the screen as it follows three scheming soldiers in the wake of World War I. The film’s deft mélange of the horrors of war, broad comedy and the director’s very own brand of very dark humor tells the story of two grunt soldiers — a humble accountant (Dupontel) and a brilliant painter (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart) — and their sadistic commanding officer (Laurent Lafitte), and the monumental scams they simultaneously mount to cash in on their own spoils of war. The film’s intoxicating technical feats and a formidable cast are literally guaranteed to take your breath away. The proof — the film earned a whopping 13 César nominations and won 5 Awards, for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Costumes and Production Design.
