前世情迷

　　The persona of a celebrated author is threatened when her best friend and muse reveals the dark secret behind her first novel's provenance, igniting an incendiary tale of sex, lies and betrayal.

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

2013年，一名离60岁还有几个月的澳大利亚男子决定走圣地亚哥之路——一条横跨西班牙山顶的800公里朝圣之路。他没有宗教信仰，也完全不知道为什么他如此强烈地被迫走这条痛苦的路。但他是被迫的。他完成了步行，与“三重疼痛”作斗争——他后来发现膝盖缺乏任何有意义的软骨，一看到水泡就会让一个成年人哭泣，胫骨酸痛感觉就像他的下肢被一个疯狂的巨魔挥舞的山斧劈开了。当他到达圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉雄伟的大教堂卡米诺的尽头时，他期待着一个顿悟——一个他每天都在问自己的问题的答案：我为什么要这样做？但没有人回答。所以当他回到家时，他写了一本书，希望答案能在他的涂鸦中显现出来。结果就是《路，我的路》，这是一本幽默而自嘲的书，许多人认为这是有史以来关于走过卡米诺的最好的回忆录。这本书现在已经拍成了一部电影，它非同寻常地描述了一个男人在人生的关键时刻，寻找意义，发现自己正在经历一场深刻的根本性转变，以至于他现在将自己的生活分为“卡米诺之前”和“卡米诺之后”。这是一个男人特有的故事，但对任何寻求生命更大意义的人都有吸引力。
