黯然失色

 在通往村东头的一条田间小路上，刚从县城回来的侯家二小子侯保见把自行车骑得飞快。快到村口时，保见顺便看了一眼在瓜地看瓜的木仓大叔后，急不可待地来到春娥家，拥吻着春娥就往里屋走。自从正月十五看花灯时和春娥好上后，在县城帮老大看饭馆的保见就像丢了魂似地隔三差五就往家里跑。春娥是个命苦的女人。结婚不到二年，丈夫就死了，儿子马驹都快五岁还不会说话。丈夫死后，漂亮贤惠的春娥里里外外一把手，既操持着家务，还把老公公木仓爹侍侯得就如同自己的亲爹一样。木仓大叔也是一个通情达里的人。儿子死后，木仓大叔就搬出门，带着不会说话的小孙子马驹，一心扑在村头的瓜地里。其实，木仓大叔这样做也有他另一层心思，那就是木仓大叔理解作为一个女人的苦。毕竟纸里包不住火。保见来的次数多了，从家里跑到瓜地的看家狗“利来”的异常引起了木仓大叔的警觉。终于，春娥和保见的事被木仓大叔发现。这种事要放在别人肯定不会轻饶，但木仓大叔理解儿媳妇春娥的苦。既然生米煮成了熟饭，春娥和保见的事在村主任的撮合和主持下，一个简单的婚礼算是成全了一对有情人的姻缘。春娥嫁到老侯家后，因为保见害怕他爹的缘故，再加上春娥又是一个寡妇，所以在侯家过着忍气吞声的日子。但这一切并不防碍春娥和保见的恩爱。平常的日子里，春娥担负起一个家庭主妇的重担，在保见爹挑剔的眼光下，百般小心地尽着一个为人儿媳妇的责任。除此之外，春娥还得隔三差五地回木仓大爹家，给木仓爹浆洗衣服、收拾家务、做一顿热饭。春娥的苦，春娥自己不说木仓爹也看在眼里。春娥毕竟不是自己的亲闺女，有些话不好明说，保见又因为害怕他爹不敢说出来。就这样，春娥常常为了家庭的和睦忍气以泪洗面。时间长了，心疼媳妇的保见最终与他爹闹翻。保见爹因私放高利贷被警察询问后，春娥把儿子马驹从瓜地里接回了家。可等春娥再次回瓜地给木仓爹送饭时，木仓爹在劳累过度中沉然睡去，就再也没有醒来。春娥和保见就着瓜地里的一块空地，披麻戴孝地下葬了木仓爹。堆起的新坟前，春娥让儿子马驹跪下给爷爷磕头的那一刻，瓜地里一颗熟透的西瓜“噶”地一声裂成两半，西瓜裂开处，瓜瓤鲜红、瓜子如墨。

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
