Catherine Deneuve, A Christmas Tale

A cinematic and style icon since the 60s, Catherine Deneuve reunites with one of her favorite filmmakers, Arnaud Desplechin, for A Christmas Tale, a decidedly tart holiday-themed drama. Returning to Beyond the Subtitles after last year's Persepolis, Deneuve talks about why we never seem to see her Roman Polanski classic Repulsion, why they have yet to reunite, what she looks for in a director and a script, and why she continues to work after 100 films and counting.
