A Christmas Tale

Original title: Un conte de Noël

“The dilemma. The reunion”

Directed by Arnaud Desplechin

When their regal matriarch falls ill, the troubled Vuillard family come together for a hesitant Christmastime reunion. Among them is rebellious ne'er-do-well Henri and the uptight Elizabeth. Together under the same roof for the first time in many years, their intricate, long denied resentments and yearnings emerge again.
