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

　　描述一群青少年学生参加美国太空总署主办的太空夏令营，亲身体验太空登月的操作环境。不料在一次意外中，他们乘坐的太空舱竟然真地发射升空，几个年轻人登时六神无主，幸好有一个机器人留在舱中协助他们化险为夷。在众多的太空科幻片中，哈瑞．温勒导演本片较著重太空知识的传递而非眩目迷人的特效。外景在NASA 实地拍摄，有些地方颇令人大开眼界。凯特．卡普肖饰演女教官、利．汤普森、凯利．普雷斯顿饰演太空历险的学生，但最讨人喜欢的还是那个造型和表演都相当有趣的机器人。
