牛头怪 Acclaimed Mexican-Canadian auteur Nicols Pereda returns to the Festival with Minotaur,神马宅男午夜 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.在外界看来,江苒以一介江家继女的身份,嫁入显赫豪门,是一步登天,但只有跟在江苒身边做事的人才知道,裴氏若不是娶进了江苒,如何能度过当年的那场危机。一只眼睛突然间陷了进去,老蒲反应很快,连忙把手缩了回来。两个劫匪心中一惊,眼前这个年轻人不经意间散发的杀势,那是常年历经杀伐洗礼的人才能拥有的,这一点,身为退役特种兵的他们,尤其了解。看向那座山,风轻翔两兄妹是明显的一惊。急忙转开自己的视线,不安的冲水倾月道。“姐姐,别看那座山,那座山不吉祥。”
