2对1猎取有钱人

　　影片的故事发生在波士顿，巴恩斯扮演的尼克是一位意大利裔的美国年轻人，踌躇满志的他加入波士顿黑手党，决心开创一番事业，却发现这个犯罪组织早已不复昔日之勇。　　于是尼克背着他的老板（《落水狗》、《坏中尉》男星哈威·凯特尔饰），自立门户，扩张版图，希望重塑往昔的辉煌。一手金钱，一手美人（莉顿·梅斯特饰），尼克完全不知道自己正走在危险的悬崖边。

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

 本片是由哥伦比亚电影公司出资委任电视纪录片导演皮特•戴维斯（Peter Davis）拍摄的一部探讨美国为何在1959-1975年期间发动对越战争，越南人民的悲惨遭遇，以及美国人民对越战态度转变的纪录片。这是美国本土首次放映直接采访刻画越南平民惨境的影片，片中多次表现了美军将领的种族主义和美国政府对国内人民的无耻欺骗。电影于1974年在法国嘎纳电影节首映，随即便因内容的严重争议性被哥伦比亚公司搁置。制片人波特•施耐德（Bert Schneider）与亨利•兰格（Henry Lange）向哥伦比亚公司买回了版权，并终于1975年通过华纳公司在美国公映。本片获1974年奥斯卡最佳纪录片奖，并被提名同年金球奖最佳纪录片。

　　影片灵感来自迪士尼乐园同名游乐设施，“在一个让人不寒而栗的鬼屋中进行一趟令人毛骨悚然的旅行，有幽灵、食尸鬼和超自然力量带来的惊吓”，聚焦一个搬进了这栋豪宅的家庭。
