AroView: This evocative, immersive drama contrasts the romantic dilemmas of two nurses who share a cramped high-rise flat in a teeming, rain-drenched Mumbai.
Prabha (Kani Kusruti) is forlorn by the estrangement of her husband abroad, while Anu (Divya Prabha) is having a passionate but unapproved affair with a Muslim. Guaranteed to fully transport you to another place and culture, it’s a film infused with great beauty, sadness, tenderness, eroticism and insight into lives in contemporary working-class India. It’s one of the year’s best.
“The beats of All We Imagine as Light are calibrated with hypnotic grace creating a rhythm that induces pure pleasure.” ~Sophie Monks Kaufman, IndieWire
“It is universal and emotional enough to hypnotise anyone who has been alone in a city, or been spellbound by a film on the subject.” ~Nicholas Barber, BBC
“Just two features into her young career, Kapadia has established her rare talent for finding passages of exquisite poetry within the banal blank verse of everyday Indian life.” ~Jessica Kiang, Variety
