I have seen this movie five times and none of those the story has lost its magic, the chance of love between Otto and Ana turns out to be a whole odyssey that leads us to think about fate that so much importance and influence has in our life. The exciting about this tale is that this is something that could happen to anyone in his life because love itself is an enormous coincidence between two human beings: coincide in time and space, and set in each other.
The plot posed by Julio Medem is shocking, surround and intriguing, anyone as a viewer is trapped by everything that happens along the entire life of both characters and is moved by the tragic outcome of the lovers in the title's Arctic Circle, ending sealed by the destination, such as Romeo would say in the history of Shakespeare, makes them become in simple toys of life.
Unfortunately the film has some technical details that tarnished the mastery of story and remain the value of certain scenes, some examples are when Otto is pilot or the sleigh accident. Details that could have been more careful and they have helped to strengthen what it is. Similarly, there are some inconsistencies in the screenplay that make see exaggerated and forced some situations presented, because there are casualties to casualties.
A good love story, well played and well directed, a good example of Spanish cinema.
