i haven't done a film review in a while. tonight i watched Joyeux Noel (which i think is its official title, though it's a french/english/german film and i've seen posters in all three languages (and spanish to boot).
i loved this. feel-good entertainment at its best (even if it is a wee bittersweet).
based on a true story (though i am guessing loosely), it tells the story of three armies (the french, the scottish, and the germans) calling a cease fire Christmas eve and the ensuing fall out from it.
soldiers, snow ~ i've said it before: i'm easy.
but this is also wonderfully developed, beautifully shot, and has all the good stuff you want to see in a movie. i recommend it especially for the lovers of all things military on my f-list, and my Christian f-listers as well. the holidays are over, but it's nice to keep them alive in our hearts all year 'round.
: D
this film was nominated for a slew of awards in 2005 and 2006, but didn't win any big ones. and apparently its original "R" rating got knocked down to PG-13 when critic Roger Ebert criticized it. it's definitely PG-13, i think (okay there's a pair of breasts in there that could have been cut). but i still think it's worth a family viewing. it's unapologetically corny, just the way it ought to be.
so, run out and git you some!
