First Indian film to receive the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024
In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha's routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend..
While it's artistic, the film lacks a compelling narrative
This film was fine, but I'm struggling to understand what sets it apart. It seems to tick the right boxes-a woman of color from Europe directing-but beyond that, what makes it stand out?
I'm baffled by the critical acclaim
The acting was solid, the score was minimal, and the direction was decent. It feels like the inclusion of nudity and explicit scenes is what ultimately sold the film.
Is this really what filmmakers must resort to in order to cater to Western audiences?
The pacing is incredibly slow, which likely appealed to the French audience and contributed to its selection at Cannes.Cannes loves films like these!
