If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Merry Christmas (Joyeux Noel) is one of the most enjoyable films i watched this year. Set in France, December 1914 when the Great War had just started earlier in the summer. The starting sequence was well crafted and the soundtrack arresting.
