Aurora

Streaming video - 2011

A mesmerizing new masterwork from Cristi Puiu (*The Death of Mr. Lazarescu*), AURORA is a murder mystery turned on its head. Inside a non-descript apartment, a man and a woman converse, their voices hushed, mindful of waking the little girl sleeping in the next room. Behind a line of abandoned trailers, on the outskirts of Bucharest, the same man waits for something or someone to arrive. At a nearby factory, he collects two hand-made firing pins secretly prepared by a coworker. The man's name is Viorel and today he will carry out a plan that will bring order to his world. Nominated for an Un Certain Regard Award at the **Cannes Film Festival**. "*A slow-burning tour de force.*" — Manohla Dargis, ***The New York Times***
