El Aura (The Aura, by Fabián Bielinsky, Argentina, 2005, 138 min)
A taxidermist, seemingly disengaged from life, regularly daydreams about committing the perfect crime. He is also an epileptic. Before each seizure he is visited by an "aura," a paradoxical moment of confusion and enlightenment where the past and future seem to blend. These attacks appear without notice when he least expects them, and just when he needs all his wits. While on a hunting trip with an acquaintance in the Patagonian forest, he accidentally shoots a stranger—a stranger, it turns out, who was planning a high stakes robbery. What now? From the director of the 2003 Audience Favorite, Nine Queens.
