Los amantes del círculo polar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Los amantes del círculo polar (The Lovers of the Arctic Circle) is a 1998 film by the Spanish director Julio Medem, starring Najwa Nimri and Fele Martínez. It won two Goya Awards in 1999. It tells the story of Otto and Ana, from their chance meeting outside school at the age of 8, until they meet again in their 20s in Laponia, under the midnight sun.
The themes developed form an important part of Julio Medem's universe, and can be found in his other movies: love, death, destiny, nature, the circle of life and the coincidences in life. Los amantes del círculo polar is quite dense, both on the surface and in its meaning.
The film was met with relatively good reviews from the critics. Najwa Nimri, who played Ana, won a Premio Ondas for this performance.
The score, by Alberto Iglesias, a regular contributor to the films of Pedro Almodóvar, is also important in conveying the film's and characters' moods, and was awarded a Goya.
