我的美好欲望

　　雾雪笼罩的怪异河岸。四处散落着钢精和水泥。一栋废弃的摩天大楼。平坦处仍未完工的公路桥。一座宏大的金属制的马的雕像。还有一座列宁的雕塑，他的右手伸展着指向空旷处。这是一个冰冷、僵化的无人之境，衰落的往昔在这里与想象中的未来接壤。人们漫无目的地穿过这个不真实的世界。原先确定无疑的事情不再令人确信，亲戚朋友都消失了，理想已经随风而散。萨莎从国外返回家乡，她死去的父亲曾经是这片建筑工地的主人，现在她继承了这笔遗产：一位正在寻找工友的吉尔吉斯斯坦工人；一位前额有块反着光的红色皮肤的建筑师；一位曾在莫斯科路障旁与叶利钦比肩站立的导游。他们中的一些人会莫名其妙地流鼻血。一位年轻的学生问道，“我们是谁？我是谁？一切都混乱无章。”　　小阿列克谢•日耳曼用七个章节，将他祖国的精神面貌压缩成一部长叙述的象征性电影，一场流畅精心设计的人与摄影机之舞。

Ayşe, Ali, Mehmet and Zeynep are middle-class millennials struggling to make ends meet in Istanbul. Either still living with their parents or hardly getting by without help from their families, they are all beset by similar woes: money crunch, joblessness, social isolation. In view of the world’s horrors that Zeynep enumerates in her diary entries, these are minor problems, ‘slight disasters’, but they are all-consuming, at least to the extent of making them cry in the still of the night. 　　However, Umut Subasi’s first feature, Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster, is not a melodrama. With an appealingly light touch, it diagnoses the malaise of a generation that has run up against a dead end, one whose future prospects are indistinguishable from a game of chance. This is a world where astrology, the lottery and online personality tests compete with visa and job applications as life-shaping elements. 　　Fittingly, the film is structured around chance and coincidence, with its handful of characters encountering each other in every permutation, as though there were no world outside this small social bubble. With self-aware, frontal framing that pins characters to their surroundings and a counterintuitive musical score that turns pathos into humour, Subasi offers a social-media movie without social media, one whose characters are united in their double lives and frustrated desires. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/almost-entirely-a-slight-disaster
