Connection
Fabián Bielinsky is a Director, Scriptwriter and Assistant Director Argentin born on 3 february 1959 at Buenos Aires (Argentine)
Fabián Bielinsky (3 February 1959 – 29 June 2006) was an Argentine film director born in Buenos Aires.
He started to make films early in his life, while still a high school student in the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, after graduation he started studying psychology, a career he shortly followed and dropped out in favor to enroll in the Centro de Experimentacion y Realizacion Cinematografica (CERC, actually ENERC, INCAA's film school), to later graduate from said institution in 1983 with a short film called La Espera, based on a story by Jorge Luis Borges.
He directed his first film, Nine Queens (original title Nueve Reinas) in 2000, and the second one, El Aura, in 2005, which he was going to present in Edinburgh, at the International Film Festival a month later. Both films starred Ricardo Darín in the lead role and Alejandro Awada in a supporting role.
Bielinsky died from a heart attack, in 2006, at only 47 years of age, while he was in São Paulo, Brazil, doing a casting for an advertisement.
Although he directed only one short and two feature films, his work was shown worldwide to excellent reviews.
Pendant les années 1980 et 1990, il est assistant-réalisateur, auprès de cinéastes comme Carlos Sorín, Marco Bechis ou Eliso Subiela. Il écrit le scénario des Neuf Reines sans trouver de producteur. C'est seulement après que ce script ait gagné un concours de scénario qu'il parvient à trouver un financement pour cette histoire d'arnaque particulièrement retorse, dans la lignée d'Usual Suspects de Bryan Singer ou de La Prisonnière espagnole de David Mamet.
Le succès critique et dans les salles des Neuf Reines vaut à Fabián Bielinsky des propositions d'Hollywood, qu'il décline. Gregory Jacobs, assistant de Steven Soderbergh, en réalise un remake en 2004.
En 2005, il sort son second long métrage, El Aura, dont le rôle principal est à nouveau tenu par Ricardo Darín, l'un des deux principaux interprètes des Neuf Reines. Sous les apparences d'un film policier dans une région forestière d'Argentine, il s'agit d'une œuvre étrange autour d'un personnage épileptique qui rêve du hold-up parfait et va plonger dans un engrenage criminel.
Fabián Bielinsky est mort le 29 juin 2006, à 47 ans, d'un infarctus, à São Paulo (Brésil), où il préparait son troisième film.

The film opens at a convenience store early in the morning. Juan, a con artist, successfully scams the cashier, but later messes up by attempting the same scam again on the next shift. Marcos, who has been observing the whole time, steps in pretending to be a police officer and takes Juan away. As soon as they are far enough from the shop, Marcos tells Juan he is not actually a cop but a fellow con man.
