[Opinions] Names of the Vuillard family from the French movie "A Christmas Tale"
So I just saw this very good movie by Arnaud Desplechin, and as often in his films, there is a mythological theme and the characters have jewish roots.
Here it goes:Rosaimée - the great-grandmother (actually, her girlfriend)Abel - grandfather
Junon - grandmotherJoseph - SonElizabeth - Daughter
Claude Dédalus - Her husband
Paul Dédalus - Their sonIvan - Son
Sylvia - His wife
Baptiste and Basile - their kidsHenri - Son
Madeleine - His deceased wife
Faunia - His girlfriendSimon - Son/adopted cousinDoes anything catch your eye? I particularly liked the couple Abel and Junon, and Faunia.

I like:Elizabeth
Paul
Ivan
Sylvia (prefer Sylvie, though)
Madeleine (lovelove)
Simon (kind of)I like Abel in theory but I just hear "able." I like Joseph as it's strong and classic but there's a Joseph in my life right now that I hate more than I've ever hated anyone in my life so that's putting a damper on my Joseph love right now. The rest of the names are nmsaa.

Off topicAnne Consigny and Samir Guesmi are also in Les Revenants, which i posted about a few weeks ago. Hmm, maybe I should check out this movie. :)

Do it! It's a very rich film, and the direction of actors is excellent. I would also recommend you Kings and Queen from the same director.
