Great buzz preceded Rare Exports, and it is a great deadpan Christmas parody with comic and horror aspects. It takes place at the Korvatunturi fell, home of Santa Claus. The directorial touch of Jalmari Helander is assured. Rare Exports may be compared with the films of Joe Dante, but Helander's vision is original.
There have been quite a few Lapland films in Finland recently, but Rare Exports is unique. There are those who already rate this as the best Finnish picture of the year.
