The Lovers of the Arctic Circle

The Lovers of the Arctic Circle is a good movie that is not liked by many people. I like it because it is unique. For people who do not like Medems work, it will be hard to watch and boring. If you liked any of his other films you will love it. Otherwise you will have to sit and be patient to let Medem touch you. Everyone will recognize some parts his own falling in love, or his relationship with his parents. Medem describes all this in a poetic and heartbreaking way, edited in multiple viewpoints. If you can open up yourself on these subjects, this film will make you think over your own life, love and parents. It is also nice to see that this film fits exactly between “Tierra” and “Sex and Lucia”, Medems other masterpieces made before and after this movie. Absolutely great stuff.
