YOUR RATING

In her debut feature film, Payal Kapadia deftly merges reality with fiction, weaving together archival footage with student protest videos to tell the story of L, a student at the Film and Television Institute of India, writing to her estranged lover while he is away. Gradually we're immersed in the drastic changes taking place at the school and in the lives of young people across the country. A NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING is a vital tapestry of the personal and the political, an essential document of contemporary India and a nostalgic look at youth fighting the injustice of their time.

A Film Like No Other

A dream like exploration of the political and social changes occurring in India.

The rise of their right wing brings about a return to racism and classism and the violent repression of those who would speak up.

Not what I expected. Unlike anything I have seen before.
