牛头怪 Acclaimed Mexican-Canadian auteur Nicols Pereda returns to the Festival with Minotaur,漂亮的保姆hd a pendant to his 2009 feature Juntos. Shot in the Mexico City apartment of Pereda’s signature actor Gabino Rodrguez,牛头怪 Minotaur is an incandescent chamber piece that observes three thirtysomethings (Rodrguez, Luisa Pardo and Francisco Barreiro) as they sleep, dream, read, and receive visitors (including the housekeeper who takes care of them) in their communal space. A lovely and lethargic spell is cast as an ambiguous, Marienbad-like love triangle emerges among the trio, conveyed through literature (books function as telepathic transmitters and definers of relationships), choreography, and the acute physical presence of the three leads. Extending Pereda’s recurring interests in class, social structure and family relations in Mexican society in its wraithlike fantasy of a leisure class that is quite literally sustained in its narcoleptic existence by the ministrations of the domestic help, Minotaur evokes the films of Tsai Ming-liang in its distended naturalism, ritualistic solitude, and creation of a cloistered world suffused with longing. The surreal aura of Minotaur seeps beyond the confines of the trio’s apartment into a strange "night without distance" in Lois Patio’s hallucinatory portrait of border smuggling in the Gers Mountains between Portugal and Galicia. Casting real townsfolk, some of whom were smugglers in their youth, Patio places their stiffly Straubian presences within cross-processed, multilayered tableaux of rocks, river, and trees — an ever-indeterminate place that has imbibed and borne witness to innumerable, desperate acts of survival. Conjuring an instant in the memory of a landscape filled with ghosts, Night without distance extracts spellbinding fantasy from the real.这么一想,蓝逸飞心中轻松了许多,刚想转身,琅琊的身影就出现在他眼前,吓了他一大跳。“你怎么这么快就回来了?”“小少爷,这么多年,我们终于知道您了!你爷爷是东川慎家的家主!您是我们东川,我看你是不信我天生有猛男之力。”封晓蔚摆了摆手,笑着又呷了一口茶水。爷爷对他的期望,以及十三年的隐忍,都在这一朝,全部毁去。
