馬里亞諾·德·桑蒂斯是意大利共和國(guó)總統(tǒng)。此人與現(xiàn)實(shí)中的任何總統(tǒng)均無(wú)關(guān)聯(lián),完全是作者虛構(gòu)的人物。他喪偶多年,且信奉天主教,有一個(gè)女兒名叫多羅泰亞——和他一樣,女兒也是一名法律學(xué)者。任期即將結(jié)束之際,在波瀾不驚的日常中,兩項(xiàng)最后的職責(zé)擺在了他面前:就兩份敏感的總統(tǒng)特赦申請(qǐng)做出決定。這些抉擇構(gòu)成了真正的道德困境,并且以看似無(wú)法理清的方式,與他的私人生活糾纏在了一起。在疑慮的驅(qū)使下,他必須做出抉擇。而這位杰出的意大利總統(tǒng),懷著強(qiáng)烈的責(zé)任感,必將履行這份職責(zé)。
Ay?e, 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
