A phenomenal showcase of France’s most renowned actors relishing the challenges of an extraordinary narrative. A Christmas Tale reaches great heights of emotion thanks to the masterful direction by Arnaud Desplechin.
This outrageous, funny and heart-rending romp through the dysfunction of the middle class was one of 2008’s most celebrated French Films.
For some, Christmas means the joy of spending time with loved ones. But not for the Vuillard family in Arnaud Desplechin's blackly comic A CHRISTMAS TALE. Instead of egg nog, bile and venom flow at the family get-together when estranged son Henri (Mathieu Amalric) returns. His mother, Junon (French legend Catherine Deneuve), has cancer, and Henri may be the bone marrow donor match that could save her life. Oldest daughter Elizabeth (Anne Consigny) is equally unhappy to see her brother; he has been an emotional and financial drain on the family, and she had him legally banished from the family six years ago. But with his return, old wounds are freshly opened as the entire family gathers together for what could be their last holiday.
