"Joyeux Noël" (Merry Christmas) directed by Christian Carion.
115mins - 2005 - Drama / War / History - with English subtitles
Starring Diane Kruger, Guillaumne Canet, Benno Fürmann...

On Christmas Eve during world War I, the Germans, French, and Scottish fraternize and get to know the men who live on the opposite side of a brutal war, in what became a true lesson of humanity.

"With a cast of Scottish, German and French actors all speaking their own language, writer-director Christian Carion has fashioned a deeply moving and uplifting piece." - The Hollywood Reporter
"Joyeux Noël is gritty and disturbing with its extended scenes of war and destruction. It also is emotional, even a touch sentimental." - USA Today
