　　Voltage Pictures拿下艾玛·罗伯茨、海登·克里斯滕森主演的浪漫爱情片[小意大利](Little Italy，暂译)的国际销售权。该片由唐纳德·佩特瑞([倒霉爱神])执导，故事类似现代版罗密欧与朱丽叶，讲述一名见习厨师同一位餐厅老板坠入爱河。他们父亲是商业死对头，母亲却是秘密的闺中好友。

 她（李来 饰）是一个美丽平凡的小女孩，和爸爸妈妈生活在位于街角的家中。家里经营着以她的名字素媛命名的杂货店，母亲（严智媛 饰）作为老板娘日夜忙碌不得闲暇，父亲则在工厂干着繁重的工作。在那个飘雨的早上，素媛打着雨伞独自上学。在离学校近在咫尺的地方，她遭遇一个相貌猥琐、酒气冲天的大叔，由此开启了她的悲剧之旅。柔嫩的小花遭到暴风雨无情摧残，受伤的岂止枝枝叶叶，更是那迎着阳光无忧成长的心。无良媒体铺天盖地大肆渲染，作为受害者的素媛一家仿佛成了周身污秽的耻辱之人，被四周诧异好奇的目光所包围。妈妈悲痛欲绝，几近崩溃。爸爸全力保护女儿，但受伤的小天使却拒绝爸爸的靠近。问凶之路伴随着天使的治愈旅程，美丽的女孩可会再露灿烂笑容？

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
