I watched The White Reindeer last weekend. A Finnish film from 1952. Unfortunately there weren't any English subtitles so I probably missed out on one or two nuances, but I still enjoyed it.
It's this tribe of reindeer herders, focussing on one woman who marries a reindeer herder after a particularly exciting reindeer sledge race but then he can't be arsed with shagging her because, I guess, he's tired after a hard day looking after hundreds of reindeer.
She goes to this shaman to, presumably, get something to randy her husband up but she ends up turning into a white reindeer, then back into herself, except now she's a vampire but she can turn into the White reindeer whenever she wants. This doesn't appear to excite her husband, sex wise. Having said that, she does end up on the end of a shaft that he propels at her, but neither of them are thrilled about it.
The scenes of lassoing reindeer and pulling them in look absolutely crackers, with practically no special effects at all. The reindeer race is the same level of lunacy. It must have been as dangerous as hell.
Anyway, the main thing I learned is that Lapland in 1952 could easily have doubled as a post apocalyptic dystopia. If there's a nuclear war, my money'd be on Finnish reindeer herders from 1952 to be the ones who survive, and sooner them than me.
