The Aura

El Aura, his second and final feature, offers an undeniable testimony to his immense talent and reminds audiences everywhere what a great loss Argentina’s cinema has suffered. A noirish thriller with a heart as dark as its forest setting, it follows an epileptic, introverted taxidermist (Darín) who is convinced that he can carry off the perfect robbery. On a hunting trip in Patagonian woodlands, he is given the chance to test his theory when he takes advantage of a criminal opportunity that soon spirals out of control. (Independent Cinema Office)
