This is an French film with subtitles, don't let that scare you it looks brilliant. I love foreign films I hate subtitles so I have a bit of a dilemma. The movie must be worth it for me to actually make the effort. A avid book reader I don't mind reading it's just the fact if I felt like reading I would pick up a book :)
A Christmas tale is a film about a french family who needs to come together because the mother needs a bone marrow transplant. Junon and Abel are the parents they have an eldest daughter, Elizabeth who looks like a miserable cow who sulks all the time. A middle brother Henri, who seems to enjoy being the black sheep in the family, his sister for some reason had him banished promising she never want to speak to him again. Then there is the youngest Ivan, who is also the peace maker in this strange family.
I like the trailer it tells the story without spoiling it and it intrigued me enough to actually want to watch the film.
