This one is not for everyone. Most people will probably not only have disaster with its length, but its style, as well. Both as wild as it is imaginative, Christmas Yarn is like a post-modern jazz bag, mixing elements from a variety of cinematic styles that are jarring (at times), but always appealing to notice. As long as the film is, it always keeps entertaining and changing before our very eyes. What makes its exclusive stylistic combinations work is the compelling depths of its explorations into family and the bonds the unite, or divide us. Like and The Royal Tennenbaums, with a nouvelle vague twist, the film is not only paunchy of outlandish combinations of image and music, but seems to jump from one film to another from scene to scene, as if each character or emotional quality (from light comedy to serious drama) were each receiving its occupy rendering. At times, the characters turn and philosophize directly to the camera. The filmmaker also intercedes by providing chapter headings and keyhole views, but, somehow, what could have become a cacophony of chaos, turns into a wonderment of cinema that any sincere cinephile will be amazed to perceive and want to experience again….
