Aro Recommended Aura, The

 

Argentina 2005, 134 minutes
Dir. Fabian Bielinsky
In Spanish with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime

 

Aroview: A taxidermist indulges his criminal fantasies in this brooding, atmospheric wilderness thriller from the late dir. of NINE QUEENS.

Unfolding as a weekend hunting trip-turned-casino heist with a touch of metaphysical reflection (brought upon by the protagonist’s surreal bouts of epilepsy), haunting, understated visuals partner a classic crime caper that heads in new and unexpected directions. Not one for those in search of a talky, quick-witted Tarantino knockoff, but as a deliberately pensive and slow-paced variation on genre, will prove refreshing for proponents of stillness and filmmaking restraint.
