What does the story of the film tell?
Talking about the story of the movie 'All We Imagine As Light', it shows the story of two nurses named Prabha and Anu. Both of them are Malayalis. They are actually in Mumbai. Both are struggling in their relationship. Apart from this, the story of a woman named Parvati has also been shown in the film. An attempt has been made through these three women to show the place of women in today's society.
These three spend their entire lives helping and caring for others. What do they get in return? So little money, little freedom or praise. The film is beautifully woven with an emphasis on feminist ideology. Its trailer has also received a good response. Cannes Festival
What did Payal Kapadia say?
Payal Kapadia, who made 'All We Imagine as Light', while talking to a news agency, said, “Why did it take 30 years for an Indian film to get nominated at Cannes? There are many perspectives in India. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but the point is that it's not well understood abroad. Here is the variety. Each state has a different audience. They don't intend to make films just to impress Westerners.
Bollywood also appreciated
30 years later the film was nominated to go to Cannes from India and the film won the Grand Prix award. The film featured actresses like Divya Prabha, Kani Kushruti and Chhaya Kadam. After the film won awards, the team is showered with praise from all quarters. Bollywood actresses Bhumi Pednekar, Kiara Advani and Richa Chadha have also praised the film.
