普尼特·纳·朗吉特

《棱镜少男 KING OF PRISM》系列新电影

人气女作家（恒松祐里）向恶名昭彰的私家侦探麦卡托（水泽林太郎）提出调查委托，称“自己可能正遭人追杀”。每天送达的神秘扑克牌仿佛预示着“杀人倒计时”，这究竟意味着什么……？麦卡托与他的助手兼作家美袋三条（须贺健太）的推理锋芒毕露——。

 美丽少女安吉•阿尔布莱特（莎拉•汤普森 Sarah Thompson 饰）独自到位于偏远山区小镇的亚当斯学院求学。这里看似安宁，却是个地道的危险所在，一段时间内不断传出女孩失踪并被杀害的消息。某天，安吉在学校布告栏看到招聘保姆的通知。为了赚取生活费，她前往通知上所写的农庄应聘。雇主是年轻的史丹顿夫妇吉姆（布鲁斯•托马斯 Bruce Thomas 饰）和瓦尔莉特（Kristen Dalton 饰），他们即将参加农场举行的集会，因此招聘保姆照看他们年幼的儿子山姆（凯伊•卡斯特 Kai Caster 饰）。应聘当夜，山姆很早上床睡觉，安吉则独自一人看书，这一晚似乎平静轻松。但随之后来的一系列事件随即引起安吉的恐慌：默不作声的骚扰电话、不断撞击的房门、沉默冷静的山姆、经常尾随安吉的神秘男子。这一切的背后，仿佛隐藏着更为恐怖的秘密……

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
