...contemplating the strange pull of fate that directs their lives and rebelling against it, trying to make room for emotions in the coldly mathematical world that Medem creates. Medem himself as both writer and director shares this passion and intelligence. Lovers of the Arctic Circle could very easily come across as a pretentious intellectual attack on our beliefs about emotion and free will. But Medem doesn't frame his work as an attack so much as he poses it as a question. What if even the most intimate aspects of our lives were nothing but a mathematical sequence of events...
Last Sunday, the computer virus Chernobyl disabled the hard drives of computers across the Campus, preventing access to everything from theses to lowly expos papers. Those who lacked sufficient protection in the form of anti-viral programs had to suffer both the loss of countless hours as they attempted to restore their papers and the supercilious comments of their peers. The number of students who do, indeed, back up every assignment they have on a disk is quite small. Harvard students prize efficiency, and so due to the rarity of complete computer failure, not many expend the effort required...

...complexity of Jones's character is perpetuated by the fact that the audience is never sure of her intentions. As the insurance investigator on the trail of MacDougal, she comes across as an ambitious agent in pursuit of justice. As the story progresses, though, the authenticity of this image becomes questionable. At various times, she claims that she is a thief, just like MacDougal; yet she continues to report to her boss, indicating that she is merely using her thief story to trap MacDougal. To illustrate this uncertainty, the opening scene of the movie features a heist in which...
