　　在一个家族传承的塔格特铁路公司，现任总裁为家族长子詹姆斯·塔格特，副总裁是达格妮·塔格特，兄妹俩为挽救公司岌岌可危的营运，想法与方法可说是南辕北辙，一位只是口头囔囔一些没有经过详细评估的墨西哥——圣赛巴斯蒂安支线的投资，却没有提出一丝一毫的规划与执行方案，常常以见不得别人成功的酸葡萄心态看待事情与诋毁他人；另一位是以“我是像一个饿疯了一样，去找任何一个能把事情做好的人！”为挽救塔格特铁路公司，与爱迪·威勒斯孜孜矻矻、焚膏继晷的努力工作，为顺利完成里约诺特的铁路支线，找上里尔登钢铁的汉克·里尔登合作，采用里尔登刚发明的新合金当铁轨，没想到成功营造出里约诺特的铁路支线，却是另一个不幸的开端。　　幕后制作　　《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》是上世纪美国著名哲学家、小说家安·兰德的代表巨著，这位俄裔美籍小说家推崇理性，认为人的最高美德便是理性。她不顾传统舆论的偏见，力倡个人主义，认为不能使个人利益得到最大伸张的社会，就不是理想社会。她的客观主义哲学自上世纪50年代起便风靡美国校园，影响了几代美国人，她本人也成为美国青年崇拜的偶像。　　《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》是她最著名的一本小说，曾在美国社会产生巨大影响。书中宣扬金钱至上的思想，探讨了理性利己主义的道德性。1957年刚刚出版曾遭遇社会恶评，但却异常畅销，在美国的销售量仅次于《圣经》，并影响了当时社会的很多知识分子，甚至成为美国学生必读的课外书籍。

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
