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

这是一位始终以两性关系、婚姻道德为主题的电影作者,这部获得奥斯卡最佳外语片的《掏出你的手帕》也不在例外。关于影片,布里耶是这样解释的:“表面上看这是一部怪诞的电影,但实际上这是一部彻底颠倒道德标准的片子,不过表现得比较委婉且具有魅力。如果仔细观察就可以看出,所有的道德价值都被颠倒了,所有的道德传统都被抛到了一边。人物的思想状态正处于一种极端混乱的时期,今天你也许还不会把妻子当作礼物送给别人,但也许将来你就可以做到了。”
