“It could be sort of a slogan for this family: ‘Let’s get rid of melancholy’… They don’t have time for melancholy. All of them are good fighters,” said French director Arnaud Desplechin of his new film, an at turns lighthearted and deeply dramatic portrait of a family during the holidays that he compared in structure to an advent calendar. At the New York Film Festival press conference for “A Christmas Tale,” Desplechin was joined by the legendary Catherine Deneuve, who plays the matriarch in the family and who affectionately compared the filmmaker to a “child in a playroom.”
