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.

mort du comédien Jean-Paul Roussillon à 79 ans: Lacteur, sociétaire honoraire à la Comédie Française, vient de mourir à Auxerre, où il venait dêtre hospitalisé. Il avait obtenu cette année le César du meilleur second rôle, pour son interprétation dans Un conte de Noël dArnaud Desplechin.
If you're looking for an other very bright and very talkative french film made by the same director, you should watch My Sex Life... or How I Got Into an Argument (Comment je me suis disputé...(ma vie sexuelle). For the lovers of the french language and young french actors
When it comes to long intelligent conversation in French film, the director Eric Rohmer's films came top of my list. Rohmer's Clare's knee for instance, it's packed with philosophical conversations.
This is a great epic piece of french cinéma starring some of the best french actors (Mathieu Amalric, Catherine Deneuve, her daughter the beautiful Chiara Mastroianni and the not known enough Melvil Poupaud)
