RAVE - Aura

The 'Aura' refers to the seconds preceding an epileptic attack, a condition experienced by taxidermist Esteban Espinosa. The fact that he's a taxidermist and epileptic are completely irrelevant to the main story, namely his belief he can plan and execute the perfect crime.

A hunting accident and a series of subsequent coincidences leave him with information and connections to two separate but related targets, and the anonymity from which he can execute a multi-million dollar armored truck heist.

The very un-Hollywood slow speed of this Argentinian film may put some people off, even though it belies a relatively complex plot, and the many twists and turns in the story.

Before you go looking for this at your local multiplex, it's a 2005 film probably only available through Netflix.

If only I could learn a language while enjoying all these foreign movies. Instead, I'm learning how to plan robberies.
