In Romanian. 183 minute running time. Yes, you read that right: THREE HOURS LONG. Cristi Puiu made The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, which I thought was brilliant and my favorite foreign language movie from 2005 … but I wasn’t thrilled with Aurora, mainly because it’s THREE HOURS LONG. Stars Puiu himself, and he mostly bumbles around and glares, that’s his great acting technique. He’s interested in how uncaring and indifferent bureaucracies are, esp. East Bloc ones. He’s interested in people who snap. Clearly he’s an interesting guy, but I can’t recommend this. John Farr did though.
