That's "Merry Christmas" to the rest of you


JOYEUX NOEL is another of the Oscar nominated foreign films this year. While it may not shine as much as TSOTSI (see previous post), it is an uplifting film about humanity in the face of war. Back in World War I, troops called their own cease fire on Christmas Eve and came into the middle of the battlefield to share in the holiday. Imagine if troops did this of their own volition today...

Anyway, my review of the moving (yet flawed) JOYEUX NOEL can be read HERE.
