Not to be confused with A Christmas Story (which is having its 25th anniversary this year), A Christmas Tale is really a drama (with some laughs) about a family that reunites during the holiday season after one of the three children has been estranged -- or, rather, banished by his sister -- for six years. The reason for the reunion is that the matriarch of the family has cancer and she needs bone marrow. The middle son might be the perfect match, though he's failed the family in so many other ways. So, yeah, cancer and family dysfunction? Probably not quite as hilarious as Story, though it will have its moments. Also, it's in French. And stars Catherine Deneuve.
