牛头怪 Acclaimed Mexican-Canadian auteur Nicols Pereda returns to the Festival with Minotaur,早报联合网 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.林云过苦日子没关系,但是父亲死的早,这些年母亲一个人带自己,母亲过得有多苦林云心中清楚。“已经喝多了,头疼。”乔奕谌的身体靠进沙发里,姿势有些慵懒,不过却很好看。而且也是从那天开始,每天晚上一到十二点我就能听到有人在喊我的名字。然而,这些翎羽尽收眼中,有那么一瞬翎羽想恨苏沐然,但她恨不起来,毕竟这并不全是苏沐然的错啊!
