O ovom filmu

Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and BAFTA nominee for Best Foreign Film, JOYEUX NOEL (Merry Christmas) tells the true-life story of the spontaneous Christmas Eve truce declared by Scottish, French and German troops in the trenches of World War I. Enemies leave their weapons behind for one night as they band together in brotherhood and forget about the brutalities of war. Diane Krüger (Troy), Daniel Brühl (Good Bye Lenin!) and Benno Fürmann (The Princess and the Warrior) head a first-rate international cast in a truly powerful, must-see film.

Stirring stuff. Melodramatic and some questionable accents (even though some are the actors' own) but, as a Scot, the defiant ending in particular is one that always brings cheer.

A story in need of telling and this does it. Anti war!

Beautifully done; perfect alternative to the usual Christmas movie.
