深色調的愛麗絲 Darker Shades of Elise (2017)

好像一切都很糟糕

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

外星戀

　　約翰．卡彭特導演的這部科幻片并沒有強調特技噱頭，反而將重心放在異鄉人的主題上，而且拍出了相當浪漫動人的氣氛，甚至可以將它當作一部取外星人為主角的文藝片來欣賞。杰夫．布里奇斯飾演一名純真的外星人，他的宇宙飛船被地救人擊落，掉在威斯康辛州的荒野。他負傷來到新近喪偶的寡婦凱倫艾的家中，并且借用她丈夫的身體來延續生命。在學習地球人的生活方式過程中，他跟寡婦發生了感情。外星人的救援隊將在三天后到達亞歷桑納州接他回外層空間，他需要寡婦開車送他到那里。地球上的兩位政府官員也接獲訊息，他們決定不管生死都要捉住外星人，因而引發了一場精彩的拉鋸戰。
