雾霭像女人一样低吟

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

德芙尼（Defne）前往古老的地中海城市西戴（Side），在那里遇到了一位革命者、一个妓女、一位女祭司以及其他神秘人物。在他们的指引下，她开始寻找抛弃她的母亲。这部由充满潜力的女导演艾米妮·耶尔迪勒姆（Emine Yildirim）执导的处女作，以西戴为背景。西戴是古希腊的一个殖民地，曾是位于今日安塔利亚附近的繁荣港口城市。电影《日为阿波罗，夜为雅典娜》标题中的两位希腊神祇分别是理性之神太阳神阿波罗和智慧、手工艺及战争女神雅典娜。这部影片是一部充满奇幻色彩的剧情片，讲述了女性与男性、生者与死者的故事。

 影片以重复加碎片式的感官叙事手法，讲述了年迈且身患疾病的安东尼（安东尼·霍普金斯 Anthony Hopkins 饰）正在面临一项艰难的人生选择——是搬到养老院还是接受女儿寻找的新护工。在这个过程中，安东尼发现自己仿佛进入了一场奇怪的时空之旅，错乱的记忆和时间线交织出一段段匪夷所思的故事，而一个个陌生又熟悉的人也让他陷入迷茫。影片根据法国小说家兼剧作家佛罗莱恩·泽勒的舞台剧《父亲》改编。
