A Christmas Tale - Matthew Amalric and Catherine Deneuve in Arnaud Desplechin's Un Conte de Noel - Movie Review

"You are not even close to ordinary," Sylvia (Chiara Mastroianni) tells her husband Ivan (Melvin Poupaud) in Arnaud Desplechin's prickly holiday drama A Christmas Tale (Un conte de Noel). Sylvia is referring not only to her handsome husband, but his entire family, the Vuillards, who come together for Christmas after learning that family matriarch Junon (the regal and gorgeous Catherine Deneuve) is dying of cancer and needs a dangerous bone marrow transplant that will only possibly extend her life.

A Christmas Tale, which also stars current Bond villain Mathieu Amalric, is playing in theaters now. Read Marcy's review. Related: photos from the NYFF press conference.
