Merry Christmas

Why see it: because it is based on real events, and this fine international production highlights the memory of the soldiers who fraternized on Christmas Eve. Signed Christian Carion (A swallow made spring), Merry Christmas is thus both brutal and moving to the point of tears, and its prestigious casting (Guillaume Canet, Daniel Brühl, Diane Kruger…) gives the necessary echo to its poignant story.

But how can Santa deliver gifts all over the world in just one night? Quite simply thanks to a center installed at the North Pole which has the latest technology, which houses a million little elves, a gigantic supersonic sled and a huge control base.
