ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT
ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT
2024 (France, India, Netherlands, Luxembourg) 118 minutes
Directed by: Payal Kapadia
Crafted with visual poetry and emotional empathy, this 2024 Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix winner from Payal Kapadia shines a light on three nurses as they negotiate love and life in the teeming Mumbai metropolis. Prabha has a husband living overseas, her younger roommate Anu is carrying on a secret relationship with a Muslim boy, and Parvati plans to leave the big city after her husband dies. Without the support of men, these women forge bonds of mutual support while dispensing much-needed information and advice to their female patients. Cinematographer Ranabir Das tracks their days from work to home with a shimmering beauty, especially in the nighttime scenes. As the film moves from city to country in its second half, the women’s relationships shift and deepen as Kapadia finds the small but wondrous epiphanies in everyday life.
