• A Christmas Tale | DVD | (01/06/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Arnaud Desplechin comes home for Christmas in his outrageous daring and emotionally bountiful new movie. Catherine Deneuve is Junon the family matriarch who greets the news of her life-threatening illness with calm equanimity. Jean-Paul Roussillon is her wise tender husband. Desplechin regular Mathieu Amalric is the black sheep banished from the family by his imperious sister (Anne Consigny both actors last seen in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) who arrives with his bemused Jewish girlfriend in tow (Emmanuelle Devos). Melvil Poupaud is the most sensitive of the children happily married to the divine Chiara Mastroianni. It''s hard to miss with such a cast but A Christmas Tale is much much more than a good ensemble comedy. In this midwinter night''s dream unrequited love collides with bitter resentment nostalgic longing crosses paths with abject fear and pure hatred gives way to vivacious affection.
