Un Air de Famille

Summary: Like an episode of "Raymond" rewritten by Edward Albee
Review: This is at the intersection of two genres: the family comedy with hilarious archetypes (the long-running "Everybody loves Raymond" CBS comedy comes to mind) and the family drama where closets are ripped open for skeletons to spill out (think "Long Day's Journey Into Night"). This clever film from a long running play makes you realize how much in common there is between a family comedy and a family tragedy. Some scenes are hanging in between, and you don't quite know whether to laugh or shudder. At the end of this movie, you have that sweaty-chilly feeling that the party has lasted too long, like at the end of "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?". Recommended, especially if you know French families.
