死囚之舞

 当我们为权力金钱焦虑、兴奋与愤怒时，却根本想象不到“他们”在谈论着怎样更重要的事情。随着战争阴云笼罩世界上空，各国紧锣密鼓抓紧军事竞赛。为了抢占先机，美国陆军中将莱斯利·格罗夫斯（马特·达蒙 Matt Damon 饰）找到量子力学与核物理学领域的扛鼎人物罗伯特·奥本海默（基里安·墨菲 Cillian Murphy 饰），力荐其担任曼哈顿计划的首席科学家以及洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的总负责人。经过两年争分夺秒的研发，硕大的蘑菇云终于在荒原的上空腾起，也宣告着绞肉机一般的二战即将落下帷幕。奥本海默有如将火种带到人间的普罗米修斯，可是对人性的参悟和对未来的担忧迫使他走向与政府相悖的道路。更可悲的是，凡人钟情的物欲也将一世天才裹挟至炼狱之中，永世燃烧……

　　卡马尔格，法国——内吉玛正在努力训练，以赢得当地的斗牛比赛。然而，在一次庆祝活动后，她被牛袭击，开始注意到一些令人不安的变化。与此同时，一头失控的公牛在社区中横行，导致年轻男子接连丧命，令居民们感到恐慌。

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
