Madness. Sane men caught in a web of madness Full marks for this film, in a world of shallow Hollowood films, big meaningless bangs and fast cars, this movie blows them all away with its thoughtful exploration of those that have tragically been forgotten by a world that has ceased to care about the futility of the first great war. For many years I have attempted to sell a script based upon these events, but without success, and I am so glad that the 1914 truce has finally been filmed for all to see. All, is probably a handful of individuals, as I had to order the movie, as it was not in any shop, disgraceful really, but what can you expect? These forgotten, unknown soldiers, have led to a forgotten unknown film. That in itself is a crime. This film is a beautiful, but terribly tragic tale, the burial of the bodies was very moving, knowing that shells may well have churned them up again. It was also fantastically acted by all concerned, and it left me speechless, although I just had to say something, so I came here to voice my opinions. I will endeavour to praise this film to friends and family, in hope that they will buy it. I know this is not much of a review, but praise is all that is needed. Now someone should make a film about Kuentz, Harry Patch, and Henry Allingham, the stories they could tell, if anyone really cared to listen. At least Joyeux Noel is there, and I hope to God, that in time it gains a large fan base, it certainly deserves that.
