Wiki.
The Christmas Party (Finnish: Joulubileet) is a 1996 Finnish crime comedy film directed by Jari Halonen. It tells the story of a group of four men who have previously committed a failed robbery that landed one of them in prison, and when he is released, the other members of the foursome decide to throw the biggest Christmas party ever in his honor.
Although the film's success at the box office was modest, critics gave positive reviews and, years after its release, the film has gained a strong cult reputation. At the 1997 Jussi Awards, Jorma Tommila was awarded for the Best Actor and Oiva Lohtander for the Best Supporting Actor.
