The totally dysfunctional Vuillard family has lots of problems with physical and mental illnesses (among other issues). But they desperately want to have a cheerful Christmastime reunion despite all the estrangement and self-harm. Can they pull off their attempt of having a good holiday season?
Directed by Arnaud Desplechin, this film stars the wonderful Catherine Deneuve, along with Melvil PoupaudJean-Paul RoussillonAnne Consigny, and Mathieu Amalric.
