好的开始

 台湾中国菜硕果仅存的大师老朱（郎雄）退休后，渐尝老年生活的诸多尴尬：每周日费心做出的一桌丰盛菜肴，并无将三个女儿（杨贵媚、吴倩莲、王渝文）齐齐拉到饭桌的吸引力，已经长大成人的她们，心里藏了许多比陪父亲吃饭更重要的事；多年老友的突然离世，令他在友情这块也有了缺口；而对厨师来讲最重要的味觉的丧失，则将其彻底推到人生的低谷。三个女儿虽各忙各事，却也操心着老朱的晚年生活，计划着为其找个老伴，但她们没料到老朱早已悄无声息地谈起了“黄昏恋”。吃惊过后，老朱最看重的继承了他做菜天赋的二女儿家倩因为自身的生活经历，对父亲、她与父亲的关系有了新的认识，而对老朱来讲更大的惊喜，还在后面。

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
