Monday 29–Tuesday 30 December, 2014,
Based on the First World War Christmas truce, director Christian Carion’s tri-lingual production follows soldiers in the British, French and German armies as they face each other across No Man’s Land during Christmas of 1914. Brought together through the singing of shared carols, the soldiers venture out ‘over the top’, leaving their weapons and choosing instead to play football and share presents from home. Joyeux Noel manages to avoid sentimentality, resulting in a genuinely touching film.
