"Lovers of the Arctic Circle"
1998
Directed by Julio Medem

Two lovers who meet as youths are separated as  adults, but the power of their romance comes close to reuniting them many times as their existences converge on a circular path over the years. A seductive fable of what we all wish true love to be. "The graceful jumping about in time and space may recall the early work of Alain Resnais, but the theme and ambience are Spanish to the core; Medem charts the crisscrossing destinies of the two leads with passion as well as lyricism" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader). Spanish with English subtitles.  108 minutes.
