Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) is a movie about the informal "cease-fire's" that occurred on several fronts on Christmas Eve 1914.
A good movie in almost all aspects. Most of the acting was well done, but one of the issues I have with the movie (which after looking online, most people complain about as well) is the ad-libbing of the two opera singers. But ignoring that part, the movie has a solid presentation.
Something which I found added to the realism to it, was the fact that all 3 sides (German, French, and Scottish) spoke their native language.
Here has a more detailed description as well as the historical background to both the movie, and the events covered in the movie.
