火热的邻居

　　少女艾诺拉·佩妮（Virginia Newcomb 饰）偶然在深夜进入一家破败的歌剧院，乖张吊诡的演员为她表演了六个异乎寻常的故事：《蟾蜍之母》一对美国夫妇来到法国某偏远山镇旅行，在这里结识了一个诡异的老婆婆；《我爱你》德国柏林，走到尽头的婚姻，歇斯底里的偏执男人让他的妻子再也无法忍受着无处不在的狂爱；《梦遗》饱受邪淫梦境困扰的男人，在梦与现实的夹缝中迷失；《事故》真实的死亡对于一个小女孩来说也许过于费解与残酷，然而这就是它真实的原因；《记忆收集》她杀了求死的女人们，她看见并拥有了她们的记忆；《甜食》一度沉浸在甜食和热恋中的情侣，不知不觉走到了情感尽头。

　　加拿大导演戴维．克罗南伯格执导的本片，主要描写骇人听闻的疯狗病，受传染的人会口吐绿液，双眼发光，并且见人乱咬，几个小时后即不治而亡。美国著名的“性”星玛里琳．查姆伯丝扮演的罗丝小姐幼时曾患过疯狗病，因车祸受伤引起病毒复发，腋下竟然不可思议地长出一个嘴巴，而且内有一个可伸缩自如的肉刺，专用来插到别人身上吸血。于是，她在一个接一个吸别人血的同时，也把疯狗病迅速传播，使城市瞬间成为疯人满布的人间地狱……　　影片评价　　仅仅就身体变异而言，克隆伯格的独特之处在于处处不忘对色情幻想进行扭曲，无论是《狂犬病》（Rabid）中女主角必须由腋下长出一只阴茎来对其阴道作出支撑，还是《录像带谋杀案》（Videodrome）中男主角长出阴道般的裂口，都是这种扭曲的必然，连录像带的转子，都像双乳一样扭动。《录像带谋杀案》其实还有一个原来设想的结局，就是一男（男主角麦克斯）两女（尼基和卞卡）合体，同时以各自的变异性器官相互绞缠吞噬。在《赤裸的午餐》(Naked lunch)中，那个最终撕开男性外皮露出女体乳房的总裁如果还不够刺激，等你意识到她的装束是女同施虐的标准配备，就会有格外的颤栗。

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
