Top 10: Repeat Offenders in Arnaud Desplechin and Mathieu Amalric

Date:

4. A Christmale Tale

Comments: In A Christmas Tale, Desplechin works once again with two of his favorites: Mathieu Amalric and Emmanuelle Devos. This time out, it is Amalric who gets the more of the limelight and of course he finds himself in an unlikable role of an adult son with a major chip on his shoulder. Amalric previously worked with the director on My Sex Life… or How I Got Into an Argument and Kings & Queen.
