(...)Julio Medem hat sich für einen Film entschieden, der ein Palindrome darstellt. Es ist die Geschichte von "Ana" und "Otto" (natürlich vor- als auch rückwärts). Das Leben von Ana und genauso das von Otto funktioniert genauso. Die Ereignisse des Anfangs spiegeln sich gegen Ende. Alles kehrt wieder.(...)

I expected more. There may be more to find on re-watching, but I don't find this movie worth watching again. I did not see coincidences and "circles" as much as characters who repeat themselves and never move forward. Some parts near the beginning were interesting and reminded me of the excellent oblique and tragic storytelling of Toto the Hero. Toward the middle I stopped caring and the ending was an eye-roller for me.

Beautifully shot and cleverly constructed (with the subjective POVs and the, well, circular structure), "Los Amantes del Círculo Polar" can be too idealistic but it's nevertheless a touching and carefully observed (I particularly enjoyed the Oedipus complex angle) love tale. Still, it was often too starry-eyed for me and, in the final 30', Medem switched from pleasant romanticism to all-out manipulation, forcing a tragic finish and way overplaying the 'coincidences'.
