Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

This film from Finland certainly has a unique take on the tale of Santa Claus.  Without giving too much away, the premise here is that Santa is in fact an evil creature who has been lying dormant, frozen in a mountain, until a team of American archaeologists excavate him.  Mysterious-ness ensues.  Beautifully shot with some impressive production design, what this film lacks in depth of plot it makes up for in creativity.  I can pretty confidently say that you will never look at Santa, or his elves, the same way again.
