一名男子在加利福尼亚沙漠徒步旅行时，发现自己的车不见了。当他四处寻找时，他跟着一个流浪的男孩，最终来到了一个年轻女子占据的偏远小屋。两人之间发生了一种奇怪的动态，伴随着几次与威胁女孩的男孩的暴力冲突。当这个男人意识到他掉进了一个精心设计的陷阱时，想要避免他将要遭受的可怕后果已经太晚了。《种子》是作家兼导演巴纳比·克莱的一部大胆、噩梦般的处女作，他的著名mv作品包括Gnarls Barkley的歌曲、“YYYs”等。这部慢热的震撼剧讲述了有毒的男子气概和我们对孤立的恐惧，它有效地呈现了一个男人在面对绝望和生存之战时心理的恶化。作为新人，巴纳比·克莱是一位不可忽视的导演。(南宗锡)

　　In a small, remote village in upstate Quebec, things have changed. Locals are not the same anymore - their bodies are breaking down and they developed an outlandish attraction for flesh.

 一个寻常的清晨，唐宇（郑恺 饰）的儿子在楼梯间凭空消失；隔壁单元里，独居女孩林雨彤（刘浩存 饰）在熟睡中被人侵犯；赌鬼租客严午（邱泽 饰）满身血污，谎编踪迹藏匿尸体。这栋看似平静、不起眼的居民楼里，每个擦肩而过的“熟人”，都有可能是藏着獠牙的恶鬼。当人心比鬼更可怕时，你每天出入的家门，都可能是通往地狱的入口……本片改编自豆瓣阅读连载小说《海葵》，作者贝客邦。

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
