Now this is upsetting. Fabián Bielinsky (above), the Argentinean director of the scam classic Nueve reinas and the altogether darker, more complex (and in my opinion, better) El aura - do get a chance to see both films if you can - has died in a Sao Paolo hotel at the age of 47, thus robbing the world of a series of probably wonderful films. Most unexpected. Last Monday, El Aura, which was widely slated by Spanish critics but loved by me, received six Silver Condors, Argentina's premier film award. There's an interesting article about the film here: at the very least, it's the best movie about an epileptic taxidermist you'll ever see.
