Junon (Catherine Deneuve) and Abel (Jean-Paul Roussillon) are the parents of three grown children: Elizabeth (Anne Consigny), a melancholic playwright with a mathematician husband (Hippolyte Girardot) and a tortured teenage son, Paul (Emile Berling); Henri (Mathieu Amalric), the self-destructive black sheep, banished from family events by Elizabeth five years prior; youngest Ivan (Melvil Poupaud), the peacemaker, is married to the beautiful Sylvia (Chiara Mastroianni) and has two eccentric little boys; while a fourth Joseph, the eldest died from leukemia as a boy. When the disease reappears again in the family, all are tested to see who can be a donor, and then everyone including lovesick cousin Simon (Laurent Capelluto) and Henris girlfriend, Faunia (Emmanuelle Devos) return home for a long Christmas weekend. All crowded again under the same roof, solidarity quickly and hilariously devolves into feuding, drunkenness and bed-hopping, as everyone struggles to make sense of the mysteries of family, life, and what lies ahead.

  • The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorite films of the noughties, but A Christmas Tale has it beat in certain departments - namely its characters, how they're treated, how their stories are resolved. Tenenbaums, like all of Anderson's films, is a feel-good fairy tale; its artistry lies in its conceived world - the details, visuals, music - not so much the complex characterizations. Best not to sell either of the films short in spite of the other.

  • This film was great... I can't imagine anyone even mentioning The Royal Tennenbaums in the same context... hell even the great Gene Hackman couldn't bring that film to life... but Catherine Deneuve and Mathieu Almaric in this one....

    fucking fantastic!

see all
