Christian Carrion, Joyeux Noel Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) is only the second feature film by writer-director Christian Carrion. What began as an investigation into a repressed incident in French military history has turned into an unlikely box office triumph at home and an international success. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Joyeux Noel tells what Carrion insists is all true: how the miraculous Christmas Truce of Dec. 24-25, 1914, happened in the trenches when Germans, French and Scots fighting forces threw down their arms to share champagne, a game of cards and soccer and sing Christmas hymns.
