金瓶梅 2008

 陈捍东（胡军）和蓝宇（刘烨）的爱情始于一场性交易，其时，蓝宇是为生活所迫决定出卖自己肉体的清纯大学生，陈捍东则是情场老手，惯做“花花公子”的他虽对特别的蓝宇怦然心动，却也认为蓝宇不过是他众多玩伴中的一个。慢慢地，随着两人交往的深入，陈捍东发现自己的心已在不知不觉间被蓝宇充满。可是他又不敢肯定，试图通过与女人结婚证明自己的“正常”，当求证到那不过是错觉一场时，蓝宇早已消失在茫茫人海。真正的爱情故事总是令旁观者唏嘘感叹，无论它是异性间还是同性间的。而令旁观者感动的爱情，往往又是同勇敢、固执、单纯等简单却难拥有的质量联系在一起的，蓝宇（和捍东）正属稀少的那类人，所以他们的爱情才显珍贵。

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
