惡夜

　　標題中的「ぶぶ漬け（お茶漬け）どうどす」是一句眾所周知的京都表達，京都人常用這句話以委婉的方式傳達「差不多該告辭了」的意思。電影《ぶぶ漬けどうどす》以此為主題，展現了因京都特有的縣民性而引發的各種鬧劇，并展開了一段充滿喜劇色彩的故事。影片以從東京嫁到京都老字號扇子店的自由撰稿人澁澤まどか為主人公，描繪了〈京都人〉與從東京而來的〈外地人〉之間的攻防與沖突。

　　故事發生在上世紀90年代的一個美國小鎮上。扎克和喬西從童年時就是最好的朋友，他們每天一起騎車上下學，放學后一起玩耍，甚至喜歡上同一個女孩。然而平靜的生活在某天下午被徹底打破了。聚會因大麻而失控，朋友達里爾在教室里失血過多身亡，男孩們恐慌無措地要彼此發誓保密，扎克簡單的生活仿佛被撕開了一道巨大的口子，整日被罪惡感壓迫地喘不過氣，喬西則索性不再上學，甚至不再走出家門一步。曾經密不可分的兩個男孩在數日后便產生了不可逾越的鴻溝……

　　回望歷史所帶來的震撼，它讓我們牢記：中華兒女只要萬眾一心，就能抵御一切來犯之敵，就能實現屹立于世界民族之林的中國夢。

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
