Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)
The Festive Fans get knocked down by the stunning beauty of Latvia but get up again to enjoy the infectious spirit and irresistible charm of the 2022 film Circenisa Ziemassvetki. We travel to the Baltic region this episode to explore a place we knew little about beforehand, a fact but that was never going to keep us down. Latvia is Eastern Europe's best kept little secret -- with its Medieval architecture and castles, cobblestoned streets, sandy beaches, and lush forests. It has a rich cultural history of singing, dancing, and feasting for the holidays. It is easy to appreciate how such an appealing location can produce a movie brimming with true joy and a touch of real magic. It has the vital elements we require in our epic Christmas classics -- bank robbery, prison, and semi-pro hockey. Plus, Bruno Circenis is the iconic character we need today. He inspires us to believe that a bit of Santa Claus lives in all of us.
This is a film to remind us of the good times and a film to remind of the better times. So grab whatever you need -- a whiskey drink or a vodka drink -- and gather around to hear a story so entertaining, it was the most watched film during the Christmas season in Latvia and Sony Pictures has bought the rights for a remake.
And just so you know, afterward we'll be singin' when we're winnin' Danny Boy.
