Viewing Notes

FF2020 Day Six: Film #1 - First up was the Finnish “holiday” film Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010). This had a lot of buzz after its first screening and was already on my calendar for this slot so I was worried I may not get into it but I did and it was so worth it! Based on some short films it’s essentially a dark comedy / horror film about the not-so-sweet legend of Santa Claus and his “discovery” in Finland. I don’t want to give away too much because it’s a film I want everyone to see. It is my #5 overall film from FF.
