情劫

 該作品改編自2000年同名紀錄片，講述塔米·菲（杰西卡·查斯坦 飾）和吉姆·貝克（安德魯·加菲爾德 飾）這對夫婦作為電視福音布道家的大起大落。在上世紀70-80年代，塔米·菲和吉姆·貝克從貧寒中奮起，創建了當時世界上最龐大的宗教廣播電視網和一個主題公園，他們傳遞的愛、接納和繁榮的主題受到人們的尊敬。塔米 · 菲以她夸張的睫毛，獨特的歌聲、以及她熱情擁抱各行各業的人們而成為傳奇。不過好景不長，經濟上的不當行為、詭計多端的競爭對手以及性丑聞的爆發使得這對夫婦的婚姻破裂，導致他們精心構建起來的帝國開始崩塌。

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
