In Mumbai, nurse Prabha’s routine is disrupted when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband
Her younger roommate Anu tries in vain to find a place in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend. Director Payal Kapadia and the cast of All We Imagine As Light come together to share the most heartwarming reactions from Cannes and more.
The first Indian film to win the prestigious Grand Prix at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival
! This film was great, but I’m having trouble understanding what sets it apart from the rest.
I’m confused by the critical acclaim
While the film is artistic, it lacks a compelling narrative. It seems to tick the right boxes – a woman of color from Europe is directing – but beyond that, what makes it stand out?
The acting was solid, the score minimal, and the direction decent
It feels like the inclusion of nudity and explicit scenes ultimately sold the film. Is this really what filmmakers need to resort to in order to cater to Western audiences?
Cannes loves these kinds of films!
The pacing is incredibly slow, which is probably what appealed to the French audience and influenced their choice for Cannes.
