Joyeux Noël on Remembrance Day

In honour of the day, here’s a short clip from a really good “war movie”, Joyeux Noël from 2005, based on the true stories of the World War I Christmas ceasefires along the Western Front. It’s one of those movies that uses bagpipes in a rare authentic way.

For instance, the piper’s facial expression made in response to a request to play, “I’m Dreaming of Home” (around the 5 second mark of the video) is one I’ve seen a thousand times, if not made myself once or twice.
