A group of excavators in Finland unearth an ancient secret, and it is up to local hunters to deal with it.
You wanna know the truth about Santa? Watch Rare Exports if you don’t! Also, watch it if you are looking for some Finnish Christmas entertainment! Well, it is not a secret that the excavators dug up… Santa Claus! A mean, bloodthirsty, flesh-eating Santa! Writer/director Jalmari Helander hooks the audience on what might be at the bottom of the mountain but carefully reveals details in a show-don’t-tell manner during the opening credits. While he spends significant time on the Sami people’s hardships at the Korvatunturi mountains, he’s not fooling around when the “rescue mission” begins – no spoilers. He builds it up gradually, slowly, and steadily while disclosing the atrocities those beings can commit.
Rare Exports is a suspenseful dark comedy not meant to be taken seriously. It is intended to entertain and keep you company for less than an hour and twenty minutes and give you a glimpse of the Sami people’s natural conditions. There are no such things as plot holes or mistakes in films like this one, so I’ll stop here, hoping that, in this short review, I have convinced you to watch a film… “From the land of the original Santa Claus.”
P.S. Legend has it that Santa Claus’ workshop is in the Korvatunturi area, where he makes toys and wraps gifts with his elves.
