First Indian film to receive the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024
In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha's routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot 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 so much more !.
Payal Kapadia, the one on steering wheel of the movie, uses the local train as a recurring motif to depict the city authentically
After the prestigious Grand Prix win at the Cannes Film Festival-a feat never before achieved by an Indian movie-this film was bound to be a must-watch . However, I have a mixed bag of emotions about it.This is a tale of three women in Mumbai, all working in a hospital. Prabha and Anu are nurses-Prabha is merely trying to live her life while waiting for the return of her estranged husband, whereas Anu is searching for a place to be intimate with her lover.Right from the opening scene, you're immersed in the hustle and bustle of Mumbai in its truest form.
Its tonality leans towards a found-footage style, which adds to the rawness
The usual glitter and glamor of Mumbai are consciously ignored, which works in the film's favour. The climax is ambiguous, leaving you to search for articles to uncover its real meaning. The mix of Hindi and Malayalam enhances the authenticity of the narrative.Kani Kusruti takes center stage, shining with utmost grace and confidence.
Divya Prabha is equally brilliant in her role, giving tough competition to her co-stars
Chhaya Kadam, while reminiscent of her character in Laapata Ladies, delivers an earnest performance in this film as well. Together, these three women showcase their acting mastery.The film is slow, and at times, it feels taxing. While it effectively portrays the liberation and realities of women, it doesn't bring anything particularly new to the table.
However, the moment involving Divya flashing her mammary glands felt unnecessary
The controversy surrounding the nudity feels baseless when considering the love-making scene, which was essential to the script. The background score works in parts but could have been significantly improved.This film leans heavily into the art-house category, which diminishes its entertainment value. For me, it turned out to be strictly average-a so-called "poetry in motion" that didn't entirely resonate.#PranuReviews #AllWeImagineAsLight #AllWeImagineAsLightReview.
