Starting from such unifying elements, this article analyzes the becoming of the genre towards new dimensions found in latest films: Aurora and Police, Adjective. These works point towards a slightly different approach, a step beyond commonly known realism. Exploring the limits, film directors rediscover the power of time in cinema.
