AURA, THE
el aura
<p>“Bielinsky is a meticulous craftsman. Every moment has a payoff… A meticulously conceived and executed heist pic that is equally concerned with character.” - Hollywood Reporter </p> <p>An introverted taxidermist who fantasises about pulling off the perfect crime finds his dreams unexpectedly a reality while hunting deer in Argentina's Patagonian forest. In order to save his skin, he must turn his highly analytical mind to outwitting everyone, including his accomplices. </p> <p>The jigsaw puzzle-like nature of <em><strong>The Aura</strong></em> is reminiscent of filmmaker Fabian Bielinsky's first feature, Nine Queens. Complex and shrewd with palpable tension maintained throughout, this film satisfies on all filmic fronts - character, cinematography and plot. The aura of the title refers to the ‘frozen' instance the taxidermist experiences before an epileptic attack; just one of the intertwining metaphors and themes that give this film a rewarding sense of wholeness.</p><p>
