Payal Kapadia’s intimate portrait of modern Mumbai took Cannes by storm, but won’t even be able to compete for the international-film Oscar. What gives?
It did not. The Film Federation of India , which similarly overlooked the smash hit RRR two years ago, instead chose Laapataa Ladies, a well-received if far broader comedy from filmmaker Kiran Rao. “The jury said that they were watching a European film taking place in India , not an India n film taking place in India ,” FFI president Ravi Kottarakara recently told The Hollywood Reporter India .
France went instead with Emilia Pérez, a Spanish-language musical drama set in Mexico. Not exactly hyperlocal, either. The characters in All We Imagine express their ambition and consider their escape as they hold onto fading marriages and jump into blossoming romances. To execute her luminous character study, Kapadia, a self-described cinephile, searched far beyond national borders.
