A Christmas Tale (French: Un conte de Noël) is a 2008 French Christmas comedy-drama film directed by Arnaud Desplechin, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emmanuel Bourdieu. Produced by Pascal Caucheteux for Why Not Productions, the film features an ensemble cast including Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Paul Roussillon, Mathieu Amalric, Anne Consigny, Melvil Poupaud, Emmanuelle Devos, Chiara Mastroianni, and Hippolyte Girardot. Set in Roubaix, the film follows the estranged members of the Vuillard family, who reunite for Christmas after their matriarch, Junon (Deneuve), is diagnosed with leukemia and requires a bone marrow transplant. The gathering revives longstanding resentments, particularly between Junon's daughter Elizabeth (Consigny) and her estranged son Henri (Amalric), while the family confronts the consequences of an earlier tragedy involving the death of Junon's eldest child.
