Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A French 'Hannah & Her Sisters'
This little known but charming movie is an ensemble piece and very French in its eccentric characters, twists, turns and coincidences.

Another surprise is to see these accomplished actresses play against type.

Rating: - My favorite holiday movie for modern times!
The first time I watched "La Buche," was a few days before Christmas in 2000, when I was not able to visit the family for Christmas. I saw it with a French friend who was not able to go home either. It is an absolutely delightul French movie about the pressures associated with the holiday season, with thought -provoking characters. Much of it will make you laugh, but I hestitate to define it as a comedy, because the term implies a simplicity which the film exceeds by including many dramatic aspects of ... Read More
