Description

Prabha, Anu and Parvaty are employees at a hospital in Mumbai. They grapple daily with the opportunities and hardships of existence in the city. Balancing an immersive verité style with a touch of the surreal, Payal Kapadia’s Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama captures the many shades of working-class life in Mumbai. The result is a profound and deeply humanist meditation on urban migration and dislocation.Extras• Presented in High Definition and Standard Definition• Introduction by Payal Kapadia (2024, 1 min)• An Alternative Family (2024): an interview with the writer and director of All We Imagine as Light, Payal Kapadia, recorded exclusively for this release• Trying to Survive (2024): a newly recorded interview with actor Kani Kusruti• Indian Background (1946, 9 mins): a documentary looking at progress versus tradition in India, comparing rural traditions to developments in industry and science• U for Usha (2019, 22 mins): a subtle portrayal of how naïve attraction can empower a woman to take control of her life• UK trailer• **FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet featuring a new essay on the film by Elhum Shakerifar, writing by Isabel Stevens, an original review by Arjun Sajip and film credits
