About this movie

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.

Used to watch it every year on Crackle, sadly it got removed. I ended up getting the DVD and will continue to watch every year

Great movie based on actual events! Shame it cannot be watched in Sweden. Watched it when it was uploaded for free on YT years ago, now it's completely impossible to get a hands on. Shame.

Fantastic movie shows the reality of life of the soldier in the trenches in ww1 and how they rose above the politics of governments at war.
