Lovers of the Arctic Circle (1998)

Podría juntar mi vida uniendo casualidades

Very good film with a fast plot and envelope. Tragic drama that he touches and he attracts .
I Recommending this particular and singular film.

I didn't want to like it...

Ok just a bit about your reviewer here... I'm not a big fan of "chick flicks" and if you tell me you've got a great movie I should watch, but it's got subtitles, well then there's a certain place we all know of that's surely going to freeze over before I watch it.

That all being said, I just got a DVR and was recording a days worth of movies off of one of our HD channels and this was one of them.

Although it kills me to say it, I truly enjoyed the film. I speak enough spanish to get me by, but not enough that I could follow everything they were saying in the movie, so I was more or less reliant on the subtitles to get me by. I found it curious how when the focus of your attention is to what is going on, on the screen and your movie experience isn't solely driven by what you're hearing from dialog you tend to appreciate a movie much more. The film was definitely worth watching. October 24, 2006

Finnaly comes to dvd

Not like I have been looking to get this movie on dvd, but it is great to see that this movie from 1998 has arrived on dvd, and I bet on an all new video tape, for those of you that still buy video tapes regulary. The best thing Ican say, even if you know what the story of this movie, even through this movie is in Spanish, there are English subtitles. The movie is told from the eyes of both the 2 main characters of this movie, Otto, and Anna. If you don't know what the story of this movie is, well you should. Eight years old Otto (Peru Medem), is playing with a ball one day after school in the playground, and the ball gets away and into the woods, Otto chases after it, and meets Ana (Sara Valiente). He feels in love with her, and then the story goes back in a flashback to show how Ana got thier in the first place in first of the many chance meetings these 2 go through in the whole movie, Ana's father has passed away, and she runs away, and gets lost in the woods, and meets Otto, in her eys she thinks this is the her late father back from the dead, as a little boy. Then in one of these coincidences, Otto throws paper airplanes, and Ana picks one of up, and gives it to her mother, telling her it is from "that man" which is Otto's father. Otto's parents are dirvoced, and Ana's Mother is widowed. And then they meet and fall in love, and then Otto and Ana becomes step-brother and sister, and then lovers as teenagers. Then as adults they become seprated, when one of thier step-parents dies, and Otto finds himself gulity of it, and rins away, and becomes a pilot, guess where they meet once again, well let's just say I will not give it away for you, if you want to find out what happens, I urge you to watch this movie.

My fave film, and I've seen thousands

I've seen this movie multiple times, and it always astounds me. Worth every cent! April 21, 2006

Enchanting, artistic, and captivating

This film requires that you surrender any notions of the feasibility of the actual plot, but it is nonetheless an enchanting tale. If you enjoyed "Sliding Doors" or if you believe in fate, you'll particularly enjoy this. The film is beautiful, with indelible images that still haunted my memory years after I first saw this film - which is why I finally decided to purchase it. The end (and, in appropriate "circular" fashion, the beginning) will leave you mystified and breathless. November 20, 2004
