ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT
ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT
(118min.) Payal Kapadia, director
Ends Jan 19
The light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary, working-class Mumbai are explored and celebrated by writer/director Payal Kapadia, who won the Grand Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for her revelatory fiction feature debut. Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital—head nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) and recent hire Anu (Divya Prabha)—plus a newly retired coworker Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), Kapadia’s film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment. Prabha, her husband from an arranged marriage living in faraway Germany, is courted by a doctor at her hospital; Anu carries on a romance with a Muslim man, which she must keep a secret from her strict Hindu family; Parvaty finds herself dealing with a sudden eviction from her apartment.
Kapadia captures the bustle of the metropolis and the open-air tranquility of a seaside resort with equal radiance, articulated by her superb actors and by the camera with a lyrical naturalism that occasionally drifts into dreamlike incandescence. All We Imagine As Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and womanhood, in all its complexities and richness.
