01
Why this pick
Its wintry, stylised portrait of a damaged, intellectually combative family shares A Christmas Tale’s affection for unruly ensemble dynamics, old wounds and unexpectedly tender reconciliations.
02
Why this pick
A tightly observed family gathering where caustic conversation, sibling resentment and intimate humiliations accumulate with the same unsentimental emotional volatility.
03
Why this pick
Rohmer’s graceful, talk-driven chamber piece matches Desplechin’s pleasure in intelligent, contradictory people testing loyalties through conversation rather than plot mechanics.
04
Why this pick
This holiday reunion similarly lets affection and exasperation coexist, finding comic momentum in family rituals while allowing bruised relationships genuine warmth.
05
Why this pick
A more restrained French family drama, but equally attentive to generational friction, inheritance and the way a shared past binds relatives who no longer share a life.

01 / THE STORY
Junon Vuillard is Abel Vuillard's wife, and the iron-willed matriarch of the Vuillard family. Junon held her family together through many tough times, and although her willpower helped the family survive and prosper, it also has left many bad feelings among her children. Junon is still a handsome woman, and though her husband (who owns a small fabric dying plant) has become obese and clearly aged, he retains a remarkable clarity, acceptance, tolerance, and unconditional love for his family, and it is clear that he and their love for each other is the lynchpin that holds an otherwise fragmented family together, albeit uneasily.
