和寡母继母在旅馆同住的故事

　　20世纪30年代，战争的幽灵盘桓世界上空。纳粹相信妖术可以帮助他们迈向胜利，于是派出手下四处寻找便捷的“治世良方”。1936年，在美国西弗吉尼亚的一个偏僻乡村复仇溪，诚实善良的沃尔纳一家迎来一名不速之客。隶属于北美地区德国遗产学术委员会的理查德·沃斯博士（Michael Fassbender 饰）来到这里，借住在沃尔纳家。一家人虽然心有惴惴，不过看在钱的份上欣然接纳沃斯博士，并对其表现出诚挚的热情，却不曾想对方带来了难以置信的灾难。　　2007年，警察伊万·马歇尔（Henry Cavill 饰）生活正陷入困境。他的哥哥维克多（Dominic Purcell 饰）一度消失。当他以为兄长已死时，维克多却突然出现，带着弟弟来到复仇溪。维克多究竟经历了怎样的磨难？这与30年代沃尔纳一家的遭遇又有什么关联？

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
