Joyeux Noel - Adam N

This film is set during the first world war and is a dramatisation of an actual event, when German soldiers on the frontline called a truce with French and Scottish soldiers on Christmas eve. Both sides shared food, wine and song with the truce lasting into the next day. The film highlights the absurdity of war and is slow to get started but really enjoyable to watch once it gets going.

8/10
