Joy

　　A rogue police detective in search of his parents killer is murdered and reborn the ultimate killer.

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

　　1976年，一名会计师因莫须有的罪名，将面临不公正的刑事判罚，他决心一斗到底。西班牙导演阿尔韦托·罗德里格斯（《千面人》）阔别6年重回大银幕的新作，根据真实事件创作，于现已关闭的巴塞罗那莫德罗监狱内实景拍摄，回溯1976年弗朗哥去世后的西班牙民主过渡期。影片巧用突然惊吓营造惊悚气氛，反映狱警对犯人的多种惨无人道的摧残；藉由民愤轮番上演花式越狱，点燃普通人的求生之火，强烈抨击国家法律体系的不公。荣获2023年西班牙戈雅奖16项提名，最终揽获最佳美术指导等5项技术大奖。
