Romanian Director Cristi Puiu’s “Aurora" Picked For Cannes Un Certain Regard

Puiu has won the Un Certain Regard award in 2005 for "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu".

"Aurora" tells the story of Gigi Marinescu (played by Cristi Puiu), a police chief, married and with a nine-year-old daughter, who takes on a mistress ten years his junior. Marinescu is eventually overwhelmed by his double life and, working on a homicide case, he finds similarities between his life and that of the victim.

"Aurora" will be screened in the Un Certain Regard section, together with "Angelica" by 102-year-old director Manuel de Oliveira and "Les Amours Imaginaires" by Xavier Dolan.

Director Claire Denis heads the jury for Un Certain Regard.
