Capturing the here and now of modern India with the spontaneity of a candid photograph, All We Imagine As Light is a lustrous achievement that announces Payal Kapadia as an essential filmmaker.

Writer/director Payal Kapadia’s revelatory fiction feature debut ALL THAT WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT explores and celebrates the light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary working-class Mumbai. Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital—head nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) and recent hire Anu (Divya Prabha)—plus their coworker, Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), a cook, the film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment.

Kapadia captures the bustle of the metropolis and the open-air tranquility of a seaside village with equal radiance, articulated by her superb actresses and by the camera with a lyrical naturalism that occasionally drifts into dreamlike incandescence. All That We Imagine As Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness.
