‘All We Imagine as Light’

‘ Mumbai, as depicted by Kapadia, is a slow poison of apathy and monotony; although it is crowded with people, there is no indication of connection or affection amongst them. This loneliness becomes internalised before you realise it. ‘

Director: Payal Kapadia

Music Composer: Shritiman Das

The style of the film is quite blue and tranquil under a peaceful way. Even though it shows the truths and problems of arrange marriage, outsiders whom are struggling and the inequality between male and female in Mumbai, Indian society.

This film took during the raining season, when I was watching the movie, I can feel the shooting condition and the environment is literally an important key to the full film. Which the background mixes the sound of raining, and the raining season makes the movie seems more vivid and emotional.
