Acclaimed Mexican-Canadian auteur Nicolás Pereda returns to the Festival with Minotaur, a pendant to his 2009 feature Juntos. Shot in the Mexico City apartment of Pereda's signature actor Gabino Rodríguez, Minotaur is an incandescent chamber piece that observes three thirtysomethings (Rodríguez, 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 Patiño's hallucinatory portrait of border smuggling in the Gerês Mountains between Portugal and Galicia. Casting real townsfolk, some of whom were smugglers in their youth, Patiño 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.
It could be a better story, but the writer ruins it. 逻辑上重新调整，让Mae的死是不可逆的，让Watts不要多此一举爱上老板，让Booths更加可恶可恨一些，让城市的死而后生的这条暗线更加深刻一些，这个片子凭借立意是可以冲刺盗梦空间一般的高度的。可惜了。At least, Mae was so beautiful to earn three stars here.
「什麼樣的故事」
浪费了那么好的卡司! 这个剧情也太无聊了!!
这种装神弄鬼的科幻悬疑动作文艺爱情的片我还挺喜欢。可能一些镜头比较喜欢。设定很不错，可能本可以成为神作，然而重点放在文艺爱情上还有点过了头～
u1s1 丽贝卡弗格森真的很像英格丽褒曼耶。哦你问剧情讲了啥？不记得了。。
看腻了打打杀杀大场面的科幻动作片，换换口味品味细腻而又精致的科幻爱情片也不错啊，狼叔低沉又富有磁性的旁白有一种画面褪色的老派侦探片的味道，而开场的台词不由得让人想起盗梦空间，看了下简介，果不其然，导演兼编剧是诺兰家的人！随着剧情推进，让人意识到，这部电影的灵感可能与盗梦空间有着千丝万缕的联系，但其实完全是两个不同的故事，概括起来，追忆迷局其实就算狼叔带着观众走进自己的回忆，而最终观众看完并离开了狼叔的记忆，而狼叔自己却回到了记忆的循环……电影结束带给人们的思考还是蛮多的。
就，从一个人的主视角记忆怎么还原360度全景环绕立体声场景，这个设定问题不好好解释，很难看进去。
不应该对它执念不忘 朝未来吧..
【6.5+】难得又看到这种眩光美学的科幻电影，只不过虽然舞台搭得很精致，但演出甚是老套。狼叔和丽贝卡的cp感更像是在续写《马戏之王》，起点太虚后面怎么浪漫都救不回来。编剧的叙事能力实在有待提高，人物间大段的纯解释性台词高密度出现，无视角色认知储备给故事之外的观众科普世界观，倒不如把一切都丢给画外音解决。阿祖的中文词穿插让人极度尴尬。不过这个半沉没的水世界还挺让人着迷。
故事构思和开篇的浪漫设计都挺吸引人，可惜后面的拖沓节奏和不忍直视的动作设计直接将影片沦为了平庸之作。。。
四不像，爱情？悬疑？科幻？末世？悬疑科幻不如世纪末爆潮，末世景观不如未来水世界。英文夹杂中文也是挺fancy的，告诉我们以后装逼的时候也要只把名词换成英语。
结构工整，前后呼应，剪辑收放有度，虽然剧情的格局局限在富人的外遇这种俗气的情仇，但是叙事的结构和对回忆主题的深厚人文关怀依旧灿烂。狼叔关于俄耳甫斯与欧律狄克的谎言，也更加体现人类对思念和美好回忆的无法抗拒。
随着算力速度的的加快过去总是容易被太快遗忘
朋友you should worry about that dam more than your妞
Lisa Joy说不不不我知道那是new orleans 但是我想要吴彦祖演反派
没啥意思，不建议浪费时间，浪费了这些好演员
好老套的noir故事，打着“烧脑”的幌子结果讲了个爱情故事，完全没啥吸引力。
剧情的构思和展开还是好的，但是空有一个高概念，所有元素都杂糅混沌在一起，没有面目清晰的轮廓和呼之欲出的主题，没有打磨和执行好，实在是太可惜了。
这故事套路，设定奇怪，世界观倒是让人有点好奇，但没讲多少。所以，看不看随你，“朋友”。
就这？呵呵。收起那一遍遍重复的文艺腔独白吧，老土幼稚！
