Review of Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) by Panta O — 19 Feb 2012

I have to say that this Finnish fantasy film is one of the best Christmas movies ever - not typical, though! It tells us a story of the people living near the Korvatunturi Mountain who discover the secret behind the real Santa Claus. In the depths, 486 metres deep, lays the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas and the time has come to dig it up!

The film is based on a 2003 short film "Rare Exports Inc." by Jalmari and Juuso Helander and it was exceptionally well directed by Jalmari Helander - yes, the same guy who already acquired a cult reputation on the internet for his award winning short films.

I'll suggest to start searching for it on video... it'll be a hit with the family with its originality, daring attitude and careful crafting!
