“The gifts”
DR.
“Lots of films in Santa's sack this Wednesday December 25 and among them I will choose four, each of a totally different genre. And all with a good cast… First of all, since it's D-Day , “The Gifts”, a light and funny family comedy served by a nice line-up of quite comical actors: Chantal Lauby, Gérard Darmon, Camille Lellouche, Max Bubil… The gifts, there are those who are waiting for them, those who fear them, those who forget them…

DR.
An even different genre with “The Flood”, a film both historical and metaphysical by Gianluca Jodice, performed by Guillaume Canet in the role of Louis XVI and Mélanie Laurent in that of Marie-Antoinette. We find the monarchs in 1792 when in the midst of their fall, they were arrested and taken to the Temple dungeon.
