Greetings,
Another film to consider is Sidney Peterson's, "Mr. Frenhofer and the
Minotaur. "
You might take a look at:
.  Carl G. Jung on labyrinths
.  the history of mazes VS labyrinths. Both words are used inconsistently.
.  the use of mazes and labyrinths in garden history, e.g. Hampton Court,
hedge, turf and pavements, and what, if anything is in the center (e.g. a
tree).
.  Mithras
.  the labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral

Mazes and labyrinths are primary images. Labyrinths have one route through
and mazes offer multiple choices, some of which are dead ends.
. Borges, *Garden of Forking Paths*
. Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland*, might be included (through the
rabbit hole) and, and, and....
. "Gaudi Afternoon" (film) another sort of "Alice" adventure
Best regards.
