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
曾拍《大空頭》(The Big Short)聚焦美國次貸危機的導演亞當·邁凱(Adam McKay)日前與派拉蒙簽約,將導演一部講述美國前副總統迪克·切尼(Dick Cheney)故事的傳記片。而布拉德·皮特的“B計劃”制片公司也將繼《點球成金》、《大空頭》后再次與邁凱合作,制作這部電影。迪克·切尼號稱是美國歷史上最有權勢的副總統,他也是現任美國副總統彭斯(Mike Pence)的效仿對象。布什當政八年時間里,表面上切尼是美國的二號人物,但實際上小布什總統(George W. Bush)的很多決定,包括阿富汗戰爭、入侵伊拉克等都是由他定奪的。切尼本人是一個充滿爭議的矛盾體。他一直都是保守黨派,曾為尼克松、福特、老布什政府做過幕僚,后進入哈利伯頓公司當了幾年CEO,然后和小布什一起入主白宮;但他對于同性戀婚姻卻持支持態度,因為他的女兒是一名女同性戀。此外,切尼五次拖延不愿去越戰戰場,卻是個不折不扣的主戰鷹派。亞當·邁凱說:“我一直覺得切尼是個有意思的人物,很想搞清楚究竟是什么在驅動他、他到底信仰什么。所以我們就做了深挖調查,結果令人震驚,切尼堪稱是美國現代史上最有權力的政治人物,他在很大程度上塑造了美國現在的國際地位,而他為了攫取權力所采取的方式也令人瞠目結舌。”亞當·邁凱希望能在2017年春拍攝本片,并在年底上映。目前他正在物色合適的演員人選。亞當·邁凱拍攝《切尼傳》,意味著他之前接手的《壞血》(Bad Blood)項目要往后推遲了。
