Christmas comes but once a year, like the song says. And no matter where you live, what makes the holiday season different from the rest of the calendar year is what makes some of the finest films set during the season different: their heightened, hectic intensity; the opportunity their crucible-like setting provides for unusual and sometimes unexpected introspection. A series bringing together movies from around the world that vividly depict the ruptures and revelations created by the beautiful disturbance of Christmas, featuring films by Éric Rohmer, Ingmar Bergman, and Krzysztof Kieślowski.
