Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)












Downright bizarre Finnish film written and directed by Jalmari Helander about a top secret archeological dig that frees the real, monstrous, horned Santa Claus after he/it had been buried in ice for hundreds of years. Santa's evil little helpers soon are kidnapping and torturing "naughty" children, and the only thing that can stop them is a small boy who happens to be one of the only "nice" ones in the world. Not quite sure what to make of this. It's vaguely disturbing and vaguely funny, and by the time you're wrapping your mind around the proceedings, it's abruptly over (72 minutes!). Interesting, but not neccessarily exciting...with lots and lots of full frontal elf nudity.
