Synopsis
Season's Beatings (La Bûche, 1999) is a French comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Paris in winter, three sisters, one family where nobody says the hard things out loud.
Louba sings Russian ballads in a restaurant and has spent twelve years loving a man who will never leave his wife. Sonia looks like the settled, well-off daughter, yet her marriage is quietly falling apart. Milla, the youngest, is sharp-tongued and lonely. When their stepfather dies and their old father Stanislas starts circling their mother again, the holidays force all three to dig up a buried secret and rethink what they want.
Directed by Danièle Thompson, with Sabine Azéma, Emmanuelle Béart and Charlotte Gainsbourg, this one trades the usual Christmas sugar for something tarter and far more honest. Stream Season's Beatings (1999) online on iFILM.
