Richard Curtis's 'That Christmas': A Small Town's Big Day with a Love Actually Twist
Richard Curtis' new animated film, 'That Christmas,' streaming on Netflix, shares thematic similarities with his classic 'Love Actually,' featuring interconnected storylines set during the festive season. The film adapts three of Curtis' children's books and includes a playful nod to 'Love Actually' with a scene from the movie, which Curtis humorously claims was added without his prior knowledge. Directed by Simon Otto, the film explores Curtis' fondness for hyperlink cinema, drawing inspiration from directors like Robert Altman.
