���Merry Christmas��� depicts a true incident from Christmas, 1914, in which three armies declared an unofficial armistice for a few days over the holiday season.They drank, shared food, buried their dead, talked, sang and exchanged addresses. Their leaders later declared it an act of treason. Directed by Christian Carion, Merry Christmas introduces us to several major characters from each trench and cuts back and forth equally.
In the Scottish trench, we have a priest (Gary Lewis) and two brothers (Steven Robertson and Robin Laing), one of whom predictably dies, which gives the other plenty to suffer over. In the French trench, we meet a lieutenant (Guillaume Canet) who really would rather not be there. And in the German trench lies a German tenor (Benno Furmann), whose girlfriend, a soprano (Diane Kruger) worries for his safety back home. When the men unite over common Christmas carols, it feels like a happy ending, but the film goes on with some bittersweet endings too. The film brings out variations on the same scenes playing out in three different languages.
