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.
四星，平静的杀人，平静的死，像极了多数人的一生。
这就是西部。
中规中矩的致敬西部片。每个细节都挺考究，但也都没有突破
Billy the Kid! 有传统西部片的风骨～
看的时候想起藤泽周平的武士小说，默默无闻的小人物，受困于艰辛生活，性格懦弱，被家人看不起，但其实是一个身怀绝技的侠客！
名字《老亨利》，听着就像一瓶老酒，安静的待在那里，只有打开了品尝了才知道------卧槽。。。。。劲儿真猛！
搜了一下还真有billy the kid这个人
就像是一场没有战术的比赛，以最简单直接的方式结束。
全篇就一场戏。。。有点漫长
是我不熟悉的领域所以会格外觉得痛快。前面剧情让人犯困，后面枪战觉得过瘾。儿子的戏份向我展示了一个镖客的选择，觉得很启悟。
亨利老矣，尚能战否？电影给出的答案是明确的，但好像又具有开放性：面对土匪的群而攻之，他依然身手矫捷，神枪不减当年。可最终还是死在了受伤男子的冷枪之下。我一直在思考，故事为什么会是这样的结局？而当儿子将他的尸首埋入地下，重新启程时，仿佛有一种传承的意味，父亲的死促成了儿子的生，似乎要延续那个比利小子的传说。影片疑问式的叙述，让一切都充满不确定性。我甚至在想，老亨利真的死了吗？
编剧很取巧，运用了比利小子英雄迟暮解甲归田谢幕之战这样的噱头看点，摄影技巧说得过去，前半段剧情进展过于缓慢，不过胜在结尾高潮部分枪战写实精彩
當今為數不多的西部片成長的故事 後傳奇時代 「這個世界變了 你可以看看」
四星不值，三星可惜。拿来当打牙祭还是不错，不无聊
三星半 想起和平饭店杀人王的故事 背负着过去的比利小子 西部的宿命 背叛 荒凉 与传奇。比较简单纯粹的西部小品。
有什么呢只有钱你信不信
血的教训告诉我们，活在旧西部，不义之财不碰白不碰，太机灵的人能不救就别救，多一门语言可以救命！有孩子就让他早一点学一门防身术吧！
即便老了，比利还是那个令人闻风丧胆的比利小子。
窝囊老农是个狠角色，剧情略显拖沓，几个罪犯还是不够狠啊。
21/11/5：想不到西部片能有一丝回光返照
