牛头怪 Acclaimed Mexican-Canadian auteur Nicols Pereda returns to the Festival with Minotaur,特殊的美容室 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.她开了门,包子像个小尾巴一样跟在她身后,眼里带着点紧张,又带着点忐忑,“我不是想来打扰妈咪的……”在那张遮挡黑衣人脸庞的面经被扯掉的同时,王越像是受了什么重大打击一般,随即摔倒在原地。“你、真是气死我了,雅雅快给你父亲打电话,这个***今天反了天了,我就不信还治不了她!”杨天佑没有理会这些人的耻笑和议论,他的脸皮一向就很厚,平时也多被向晏明和刘永胜等人开涮,算是习惯了,抗打击能力超级强大。
