    • Trivia
      Rauno and Pietari are played by real-life father and son Jorma Tommila and Onni Tommila.
    • Goofs
      Even though Korvatunturi and the area in which the movie takes place are well within the Arctic Circle, there is still daylight during Christmas. At that latitude the sun sets weeks before Christmas and doesn't rise again until after New Year. However, although the sun does not rise above the horizon during this time, there is still some daylight. It is not pitch black all day and night.
    • Quotes

      Pietari Kontio: The real Santa was totally different. The Coca-Cola Santa is just a hoax.

    Dark, But Highly Entertaining Christmas Film
    I just recently caught a screening of Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale and I was definitely not disappointed. My expectations were relatively high after having seen the two short films previously released in this series, and while this version did stray somewhat from the concepts shown in the short films, it did stay true to the overall feel of the previous incarnations.

    Although this film was not particularly deep or thought provoking it was very fun to watch and highly enjoyable. Somewhat creepy in places, this was mainly played up for humorous effect and overall the film displayed a dark sense of humor quite different from any Christmas movie that I have ever seen.

    I would highly recommend this film to fans of the original short films or anyone looking for something a little bit different around the holiday season!
