The film's title refers to the semi-conscious fugue state that precedes the taxidermist's epileptic seizures, inducing a sense of disorientation and dread that Bielinsky uses to deepen the film's psychological impact. DarÃn's dour, worried expression is a fascinating focal point for his character's unpredictable journey into the heart of darkness, and The Aura's primary setting, in the thick forest of Patagonia, is a perfect complement to the film's ominous atmosphere and deliberately ! paced intrigue. As far-fetched as it may seem at times, the plot's heightened reality remains utterly convincing, and Bielinsky demonstrates an uncanny knack for escalating suspense in quietly intense situations. From start to finish, The Aura is clearly the work of a filmmaker with seemingly limitless potential, and we can only wonder about the excellent films Bielinsky would have made had he lived. Unfortunately, two slight DVD extras on The Aura give us no insight into Bielinsky's too-short career: the "making of" featurette is very brief and consists primarily of an interview with Ricardo DarÃn, and the behind-the-scenes musical montage is an equally short and perfunctory assembly of production video set to the moody, electronic tones of Lucio Godoy's subtly effective score. --Jeff ShannonAcademy Award® nominee Javier Bardem is Uxbal, a man on the wrong side of the law who struggles to provide for his children on the dangerous streets of Barcelona! . As fate encircles him, Uxbal learns to accept the realities ! of life, whether bright, bad â€" or biutiful â€" in this unforgettable Academy Award®-nominated film from director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel).A heartbreakingly direct performance by Javier Bardem anchors Biutiful, a film from Mexican auteur Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, 21 Grams). Uxbal (Bardem) is not an admirable man: he's a criminal middleman, helping human traffickers and illicit street peddlers in Barcelona. But in the thick of his corrupt and compromised world, Uxbal strives to do some modest good: he demands heaters for the cold basement where illegal Chinese laborers sleep and he carefully scrapes together money for his children, whom he deeply adores. On top of all this, Uxbal can commune with the recently dead, and tries to pass on reassurance to the bereaved. When Uxbal himself is diagnosed with severe cancer, he desperately tries to leave behind something better for his children. ! This plot summary paints a bleak picture, and there's no question this is--much like Iñárritu's other films, including Amores Perros--an emotionally harrowing experience. But Biutiful is also visually rich and deeply humane, and holds moments of grace that can only be found in sadness and loss. The entire cast brings a fullness of life to all of the characters, no matter how briefly they appear, but Bardem almost never leaves the screen and carries the movie with magnetic force. --Bret FetzerA sensation at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, Korean director Im Soo-sang's remake of the classic 1960 film is the story of Eun-yi (Jeon Do-yeon, Cannes 2007 Best Actress Award winner for Secret Sunshine), a young innocent hired to care for a wealthy pregnant woman. Eun-yi's presence attracts the amorous attentions of Hoon, the master of the house, and he begins an affair with her. Igniting the jealousy of an older maid who knows many family secrets, Eun-yi quickl! y finds herself in the center of a familial power struggle. Wi! th THE H OUSEMAID Im Soo-sang brings both a keen eye for the dynamics of sex and power and a lush, luxurious sense of style.Taking equal inspiration from the art house and the grind house, The Housemaid is a gorgeous and deliciously perverse showcase of cool, classy Korean cinema. This blend of refined melodrama and tawdry erotica is based on an eponymous 1960 film that's generally regarded as a classic in Korean film history. Even though the term remake doesn't really fit, the plot elements are essentially the same: a young girl is hired to be nanny and maid to a rich, aristocratic couple and ends up leaving both the family and herself in ruins. But director Sang-soo Im skews the sociological fundamentals to make a more pointed commentary on class division by casting the elite employers as the evil corrupters of a blank-slated girl who knows only right and innocence--at first, that is.
Eun-yi (Jeon Do-yeon) joins the household of a slick, wealthy businessman and hi! s very pregnant wife. Under the tutelage of an older housekeeper, Eun-yi performs her duties impeccably and considers herself lucky to have the job. As the elegant tone of the goings-on in these opulent surroundings grows more tense, the husband strays from his wife's bed to Eun-yi's quarters, where he asserts his dominion with masterful entitlement. Her bewilderment quickly melts, and she becomes addicted to his adulterous visitations. But nothing that goes on escapes the eyes of the older housekeeper, or the young wife's evil mother, who turns her daughter into a pawn in an increasingly complex sexual conspiracy. When Eun-yi gets pregnant herself, the simmering pot of melodramatic tension nearly bursts, held in check only by the skill of director Sang-soo Im and a cast that keeps the titillation at a gentle simmer. Because the cruelty and kinkiness are kept so coolly restrained, the Grand Guignol finale comes as that much more of a delirious shock. The film's visual style! celebrates the gothic as well as the flamboyant aspects of th! e story, and is significantly bolstered by the lush production design and supple cinematography. Though couched in an age-old fable of upper-class power and sexual exploitation, The Housemaid makes room for much more in its many tawdry, dark corners. --Ted FryCarancho Carancho Director: Pablo Trapero.

Reluctantly back on the streets following a stint in prison, Ulrik's boss greets him with open arms and a plan to settle an old score. With a demented sense of professional pride, Ulrik's boss sets in motion a plan to right the wrong done to his star employee. The problem is Ulrik would rather go about his own business, however mundane, than get involved with his ragtag colleagues again. This dark feel good comedy delivers laughs and gasps in equal measure.
In Norwegian with English SubtitlesAs the title promises, Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd plays a somewhat gentle man in this deadpan Norwegian comedy. After 12 years behind bars for murder, SkarsgÃ¥rd's Ulrik, whose ratty ponytail contributes to his sad-sack demeanor, reunites with crime boss Jensen (Bjørn Floberg, SkarsgÃ¥rd's Insomnia nemesis), who sets him up! with a mechanic gig and a rented room. Unfortunately, his favors don't come for free: Jensen expects Ulrik to kill the snitch who reported his crime, except his legit new life keeps getting in the way. First, his stone-faced landlady expects sexual favors for her hospitality, which Ulrik dutifully obliges. Then, he reconnects with his estranged son, whose fiancée is expecting their first child. When the garage manager, who has a heart condition, ends up in the hospital, Ulrik steps in to run the joint with blunt bookkeeper Merete. After he rescues her from an abusive ex, she asks him out. Though his supervisor warned him to keep his dealings with her professional, Ulrik can't resist, thus putting his job in jeopardy. At that point, everything falls apart, and Ulrik grudgingly returns to the criminal life, knowing it will only push his son further away. From start to finish, SkarsgÃ¥rd makes all the right moves, though the script lets him down whenever a depressed woman fl! ings herself at him, resulting in some seriously un-sexy sex s! cenes, b ut Hans Petter Moland, who directed the Swedish actor in Zero Kelvin and Aberdeen, wraps up Ulrik's moral quandary in dramatically satisfying and darkly amusing fashion. --Kathleen C.
