Nice surprise came via email today. Not one, not two, but three links to trailers for Aurora, a film that we listed in our number 5 spot for the most anticipated films for 2010. Cristi Puiu’s second installment in ‘six stories from the outskirts of Bucharest’ stars Clara Voda, Luminita Gheorghiu, Gelu Colceag, Lucian Ifrim, Gheorghe Ifrim and Puiu in the lead with a character contemplating his options.
Most probably headed to Cannes where The Death of Mr. Lazarescu received wide acclaim, Aurora is the story of Viorel, a 42-year-old technical consultant and engineer in Bucharest who decides to quit his job and put an end to the insecurity that has dominated his life since his divorce. “It is the story of a man who has reached the limits of what it is to be a human being, and who follows his destiny right to the end, without asking himself why he acts one way or another” says Puiu. Check out the trailers below. (Update: First trailer includes English subtitles.)
