And this one does. The names of the protagonists are palindromes, Otto and Ana.
Life may be a palindrome. There is much talk of circles. The beginning of the movie may be the end.
Coincidences abound. Missed chances, never more exemplified than by the two lovers sitting unaware of each other in a cafe and moving along on another path for a while.
Haunting images of caribou, planes crashing, red buses, accidents that may or may not be happening. Newspaper headlines that could cover many similar events.
Destiny. Can we create our own? Is there just one soulmate out there for each of us? How does this movie end? All unknowns.
I was challenged, uplifted and mystified. Technically, the subtitles were very poor in places - white on white, frustrating.
Musically, very sombre, rather unnecessary. Children Ana and Otto beautiful, understated.
