A Christmas Tale by Arnaud Desplechin, is a brilliantly touching, funny and dazzling film.  Like a French version of The Royal Tennenbaums, the film centers around a unique family of interesting if not charming characters each with their own issues and quirks.  The ensemble cast is terrific, highlighted by the matriarch of the family played by Catherine Deneuve.  Those looking for an unconventional and unpredictable Christmas film will find A Christmas Tale a satisfying experience.








     
Merry Christmas Everyone!
