He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good…if you want to stay alive. In Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, director Jalmari Helander takes the roots of Father Christmas from his native Finnish lore and clashes them against the modern day “Coca-cola” version of Santa Claus. The result is a darkly humored tale that fits perfectly in line with such anti-Christmas classics as Gremlins and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
