Minotaur

Beautifully shot in actor Gabino Rodríguez's apartment, the comfort bubble around our three thirty-something heroes (Rodríguez, Luisa Pardo and Francisco Barreiro) is unfalteringly sustained by domestic workers who gently circumnavigate its sun-hazy, Last Year at Marienbad-like labyrinth. The triangulation of relations and bodies becomes comically sculptural as the trio communicates via sleeping positions, readings and short dialogues. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
