Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
AroView: A wicked brew of 80s adventure movie and twisted horror comedy, centred on an archaeological discovery which may prove to be the remains of the real Santa Claus - or something else entirely.
Based on archaic legends of a Santa-type figure who meted out punishment to naughty children, this is peculiar to a Finnish sensibility, but has universal appeal in spades. Without being mean spirited, this is the perfect antidote to Christmas commercialism and sentimentality.
“Perfectly perverse… You simply need to see it to believe that anyone would conceive of such an outlandishly demented Christmas fantasy.” ~Maryann Johanson, Flick Filosopher
