Quickie: RARE EXPORTS
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale–***1/2
Quickie Review
The residents of a small Korvatunturi mountain village learn the truth behind a Christmas fable when a nearby excavation team unearths the real Santa Claus. This Finnish fantasy comedy is a winning throwback to 1980s anti-Christmas classics like Gremlins, Scrooged and Die Hard. In fact, the father/son relationship makes you believe that filmmaker Jalmari Helander grew up on a heavy diet of Spielberg films. Whatever makes Helander tick, his Rare Exports is the rarest of imports, a genuine, out-of-the-box cult classic. Starring Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Tommi Korpela, Rauno Juvonen, Per Christan Ellefsen, and Peter Jakobi.
