想念男友朋友的那个地方

　　时空的转换，现在与未来的穿梭，都在杰克（亚德里安·布洛迪 Adrien Brody 饰）身上神奇的发生着。他本来是一个参与过海湾战争的美国军人。意外中弹令他丧失了记忆，成为一个失忆者。继而更倒霉的是，他被警方认作杀人疑犯拉回审讯。因为判定为精神疾病，杰克免于坐牢，只是被带到精神病院，作为某项科学实验的样品。　　医生为杰克穿上了紧身衣物，把他放进停尸间。这里黑暗冰冷，只剩下零散的记忆碎片陪伴杰克。碎片中有着他将来的模样，有着一个心爱的叫杰基（凯拉·奈特利 Keira Knightley饰）的女子，更有着自己快要死去的讯息。在记忆中看到将来的杰克，在一线希望中寻找着通往生机的钥匙。

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
