French director Arnaud Desplechin’s film works as one of the best mult-layered movies of the genre, which in many respects takes its conventions and turns them on their head. Not your feel good, holiday coming home movie but one which inverts and mischievously perverts viewer expectations and instead dares to substitute real people for the usual suspects. The first rate acting (the legendary Catherine Deneuve and the not as well known but no less talented Desplechin actors Mathieu Almaric and Emmanuelle Devos) takes a conventional genre situation – mother (Denueve) suffers from cancer and needs a bone marrow transplant – and explores the generational conflicts that afflict this family and provocatively and evocatively deals with the issues of mother love; forgiveness; sibling rivalry; grief for thwarted dreams and life changing losses, and even fidelity itself. For film lovers who enjoy characters in unconventional situations, this film will continue to reward upon future viewings. Those requiring conventional Hollywood plotting and endings should probably look elsewhere. I would add that the director is one of the best working today. One of the best films of 2008.

Think the opposite of everything the movie Dan in Real Life stands for with one exception, which is already saying the movie is amazing. A family gathers during Christmas time, the matriarch awaits her families bone marrow tests to see if they are a match so she can live, and the bad boy brother who has been excommunicated returns. As cliché as that sounds the only thing cliché is the title and to refer back to Dan in Real Life the only thing real is the real in that title. In keeping it real the film’s complex characters have role ambiguity and viewers are left with an open ending. The only thing in Tale wrapped with a bow are the presents.
Oh, however, Dan in real life had the beautiful Juliette Binoche (also in this years amazing Flight of the Red Balloon) and Tale also has many beautiful and talented French actresses that could make any act seem classy. The cinematography is also attractive as is the score.
Speaking about the score mp3 download of the soundtrack from this very site is over three times cheaper.
