VN.037-梦小楠小夜猫

好像一切都很糟糕

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

恶魔们

多年来，侦探Jae-hwan一直痴迷于捕捉Jin-hyuk，负责他的搭档和姐夫的死亡的连环杀手，即使复仇的道路意味着跳过一些规则。但是，当拖延已久的相遇终于到来时，事情并没有像预期的那样进行——经过一场追逐和一场混乱的事故，在失踪了一个月之后，Jae-hwan被铐在医院的病床上醒来，却发现他被困在Jin-hyuk的身体里，而反过来，凶手正在取代他和他的家人在一起。但这只是一个起点，一个曲折、极端的叙事，充满了令人惊讶的转折，并染上了鲜血和霓虹灯的红色。在他的残酷处女作中，金在勋(Kim Jae-hoon)借用了身体转换的比喻，以塑造类型电影爱好者的盛宴。
