Joyeux Noel captures a rare moment of grace from one of the worst wars in the history of mankind, World War I. On Christmas Eve, 1914, as German, French, and Scottish regiments face each other from their respective trenches, a musical call-and-response turns into an impromptu cease-fire, trading chocolates and champagne, playing soccer, and comparing pictures of their wives. But when Christmas ends, the war returns...Joyeux Noel has been justly accused of sentimentality, but if any subject warrants such an earnest and hopeful treatment, it's the horrors of trench warfare. The largely unknown cast--the more familiar faces include Diane Kruger (Troy), Daniel Bruhl (Good Bye Lenin!), Benno Furmann (The Princess and the Warrior), and Gary Lewis (Billy Elliot)--deliver low-key but effective performances as the movie dwells on the everyday elements of life in the face of war. Based on a true incident (though considerably fictionalized). --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars From personal experience   November 12, 2008
James Hershey (On Lake Superior shore)
My war was of a different time and place. This film has captured that small part of humanity found in all wars. A facinating study of the human condition in the extreem.
This DVD makes a wonderful Christmas gift.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Film   November 11, 2008

This movie shows the human side of WWI, a side of war you don't see in most movies.

I've shown it two years in a row in my American History class (high school), and will continue to do so as the years move forward. My students hear that it has subtitles and automatically think the movie is going to be terrible. After viewing it, most say it's one of the best films they've ever seen.



5 out of 5 stars fantastic movie   October 28, 2008
Brenda Kelleher (N.H U.S.A)
this movie is well acted and i would recommend that those of you who have not seen it .please go ahead and watch it


4 out of 5 stars A pretty decent film   October 28, 2008
Adam Mcbride
The film is pretty amusing due to the characters and their interactions with one another. I did enjoy it although it wasn't necessarily as life-changing as some people told me it was. All in all: not bad.


5 out of 5 stars Best war movie ever!   September 28, 2008
Pablo Zaefferer (Chascomus, Argentina)
It's better than the one of the WWII, where the American and the Japs run out of ammo, become friends but then kill each other. Don't remember the name.
