Last night I watched ‘Lapland Odyssey (2010)‘ (Finnish, subtitled in English). It reminded me a little of The Hangover (2009): three buddies on a mission to help the one who’s in trouble with his girlfriend.
I was intrigued by the movie’s snowy landscapes, and the flashes of Northern lights in the sky. Some scenes feature Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, in northern Finland.
The town was virtually destroyed during World War II, but today it’s a modern little city billing itself as the ‘official’ home town of Santa Claus (it has a Hotel Santa Claus), and for viewing the Northern Lights.
