It tackles an explosive but entrenched issue that has divided our planet for decades: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By using myth and surreal images within the hyper-violent reality occurring on the ground in Israel today, Menkes brings a totally fresh approach to the subject and suggests a way for us to overcome hatred and deep division. Nina Menkes has been positively compared to David Lynch (New York Times), Antonioni (Los Angeles Times) and even Kubrick (Variety). Whimsical, horrific, vulnerable, mystical, violent and politically explosive, "Minotaur Rex" is a dystopian Cocteau thriller mixed with a dash of Pasolini's Accattone. I am convinced Minotaur Rex will become a cinematic classic. Written by
