A Christmas Tale

Although many people have raved out this film, I still think director Arnaud Desplechin's best film is Kings & Queen. I may say that only Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Devos, and Mathieu Amalric wowed me out of the large cast. I usually like Anne Consigny, but not in this film. Honorable mention goes to Emile Berling, who is definitely turning out to be a decent actor.
