Taking a look at this 'top 100' of Christmas films, it seems that there's barely anything on there that isn't American and isn't Hollywood. Now, one possible explanation for this is that, as Christmas has become more and more about consumption, it's inevitable that Hollywood will reinforce that particular 'message'. Sure, a lot of the Hollywood ones seem to promote love and family, but it's often packaged in a such a 'schmaltzy', formulaic way as to be nauseating, frankly.
But what are the great non-Hollywood and non-American Christmas films (if indeed there are any)? Are there any Christmas films that could be described as non-conformist or even anti-consumption?
