"All We Imagine As Light" - (NR; 1 hour, 58 minutes – In Malayalam with English subtitles) - The light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary, working-class Mumbai are explored and celebrated by writer and director Payal Kapadia, who won the Grand Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for her revelatory fiction feature debut. 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, cook Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), Kapadia’s film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment. Prabha, her husband from an arranged marriage living in faraway Germany, is courted by a doctor at her hospital; Anu carries on a romance with a Muslim man, which she must keep a secret from her strict Hindu family; Parvaty finds herself dealing with a sudden eviction from her apartment. 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 We Imagine as Light” is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness. Playing at 2 and 7 p.m. on Friday Jan. 31, Saturday, Feb. 1 and Wednesday, Feb. 5; and playing at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2 and Thursday, Feb. 6.
