Événement
Aurora
Seattle Premiere!
(Cristi Puiu, 2010, Romania, 35mm, 181 min)
Credited by some with starting the much-lauded Romanian New Wave, Cristi Puiu both directs and stars in this second installment of Six Stories from the Outskirts of Bucharest, Puiu's answer to Erich Rohmer's Six Moral Tales. Aurora unfolds with deliberate slowness, employing dialogue and performances as mundane as they are deadpan. Viorel is a disillusioned single father driven to serial murder by sheer frustration with in-laws, his children, and other daily stresses. As this uncannily calm killer wanders the streets, Puiu works with time, his favorite narrative device, to fashion an exercise in enduring unease and an intentional study of boring violence.
