La Bûche - 1999 - 6/10

Days before Christmas, mother’s second husband dies and gets planted.
Her daughters gather, attempt to reorganize the Christmas dinner, and begin arguing.
This is not about the season of good will, but relationships and histories.
γνῶθι σεαυτόν
Holiday lights and decorations aside, most of the sisters have “men problems” be they boyfriends, husbands, lovers, or dear old dad (Ma’s husband #1).
Attractive cast, nicely photographed, but this is possibly more for French film connoisseurs.
