Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
This character-heavy crime thriller from Argentina occasionally gets off track, straying into territory that has little to do with the main story line. But they are interesting digressions, and it's sort of nice to have a movie that's so unpredictable.

[A] mysterious drama....Poignant. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 2/4 --
A fuzzy attempt at significance that seems as aimlessly lost in the woods as its heist-plotting characters.
Toronto Star
It's intriguing and absorbing, this thriller about a lonely taxidermist caught up in a shooting accident, a case of mistaken identity and a heist.

Rating: 2/4 --
In the end, the film's bigger challenge isn't its length, or its deliberate pace: It's that it's overly freighted with symbolism and meaning.

San Francisco Chronicle
If less neatly realized than Nine Queens, The Aura is the more ambitious film. It is all the more haunting for suggesting narrative possibilities that Bielinsky was just beginning to explore.

Film Comment Magazine
Bielinsky also is a most expressive director, achieving considerable nuances and depths of emotion with characters' looks, gestures, body language and silences.

Product Description:
From the director of NINE QUEENS comes the tale of an unshaven, epileptic taxidermist named Esteban (Ricardo Darin) who becomes enmeshed in a plot to rob a casino deep in the woods of Patagonia. The "aura" of the title refers to the feeling of deja vu that comes over him before he goes into one of his seizures, which happen at the worst times. The story is set in motion when--needing distraction after his wife leaves him--Esteban flies out to the Argentine wilderness to go deer hunting with a friend. Searching for something to give his life meaning, Esteban turns a hunting accident into a chance to take on the identity of someone else, a man named Dietrich. After accidentally shooting him, Esteban listens to Dietrich's cell phone messages, earns the trust of Dietrich's wife and wolf-like dog, and inherits the plans for a major robbery. Needless to say, nothing is what it seems in this woodsy film noir.
A sense of alienation and strangeness pervades THE AURA, helped out by the film's languid pace, unusual camerawork, Darin's intensely inward performance, and an eerie electronic score by Lucio Godoy. Admirers of the work of Michael Antonioni, David Mamet, and/or James Dickey are advised to check this out, as it explores similar symbolic terrain, mapping the borderline between the wild and the civilized in both the woods of Argentina and the masculine unconscious.
