un conte de noel

I've been wavering about posting about this one because I haven't seen the whole thing yet but since it won't be out forever, I want you to know that it's definitely worth seeing. a French family keeps it very real: the movie starts with a sister bailing out her over-stretched, irresponsible brother in exchange for his complete banishment from the family. more honesty and originality than you'll see in any of the American Oscar contenders. and that's just in the first hour and a half.
