Based on the Christmas Story that writer Paul Auster published on the New York Times on 25th December 1990 "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story".
Director Wayne Wang incorporates into the film 6 stories, from 6 people who have separate lives, but meeting in one place Auggie's Cigar Shop (played by Keitel).
The story of a somewhat frustated writer Paul Benjamin(Hurt), and his meeting with a young thug, and his father whom he never met (Whitaker).
With a beautiful photography of New York seen from each characters perspective, Auster makes a superb script and beautifully directed by Wang.
The film is a nice view of Brooklyn where all things meet.
