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.
2.前半部被猎奇吸引，后半部已适应麻木；
从头懵到尾。电击失禁、以💩造物、一堆毛毛的东西太cult。吃着毛肚看的，再不愿看见这东西
我看不懂但是大受震撼，仿佛被导演夺去了贞操
后：我这是看了个啥，我得缓缓。
预告挺惊艳，正片挺失望的，感觉导演没有在好好讲故事，想靠装逼猎奇来吸引观众但那特效和画面还不够装逼
用定格动画的形式制作的长篇恐怖片，工作量巨大，因此非常罕见。巴别塔，黑石碑，电击，吞粪，畸形人，剥皮表演，活体解剖，婴儿献祭，宇宙大爆炸，典型的欧美人爱的猎奇血浆片，脓和屎尿很足。观看过程是彻头彻尾的噩梦。
【1】真男人就下地100层
定格/粘土动画做成这样已经很牛逼了，作为猎奇向的动画也非常出类拔萃。
献祭品的护士，失控的医生等等
类似2001太空漫游，剧情就像是观光巴士，重点是（导演想表达的）窗外的景色而非巴士座椅舒适与否。
或许，它仅仅只是想表达痛苦，我们存活于世间这肮脏的痛苦。
可怕的梦魇，可怕的想象力
我们不能选择自己生活的时代 我们只能选择如何回应
效果很牛逼，风格很诡谲
就是疯。旧脏乱恶心人的画面。想要世界重来一次 - 创世纪，人间地狱；再重来一次，病毒，战争；看似绚烂多彩的世界也不过是生活着一群苟活的蠕虫，看似无私，面对危险自私面凸显；给予些甜头，也不过是行刑前的最后晚餐；你以为新生命会带来希望，那也不过是再重来一次宇宙大爆炸，重建了世界却又迅速而轻易地回到了起点-脏乱的地狱。时间继续飞驰。是该从噩梦中醒来了。
虽然看到快睡着、对这种意识流表达毫不感冒，但看到倒数二十秒的时候我震惊了：这部动画的制作年份是我的出生年、制作时间几乎等于我的年纪！
全部的历史不过是一场腐败，它的气味飘向未来：于是我们向它奔去
零散的看出一些隐喻，各种朋克风的末世设定很迷人
这样的电影，才是真正的在拍电影，导演太有才了
我虽然很喜欢精神污染的东西，但这…抽象的毫无道理，是制作者自嗨的作品。大兵哥摆完炸弹被抓走之前还不错，后面简直无聊到爆炸。
