Fancy Movie Time #3: A Christmas Tale (2008) (Patreon)

On this month's episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., our intrepid budding cinephiles experience the most aggressively French Christmas ever devised as they review Arnaud Desplechin's A Christmas Tale (2008). Do the sumptuous performances and shifts in style make this movie a fancy feast? Or does the convoluted plotting and relentless ennui make it a failure to fancy? Either way, one thing's for sure: nobody's leaving until Catherine Deneuve gets her bone marrow.
