Only last year, her feature film debut won Anuparna Roy the Best
Director award in the Venice Film Festival’s Orizzonti section. Now
she returns to the same competitive slate with her ambitious
sophomore work. Lovers in the Blue Night follows an ensemble cast
of migrant workers as they strive for social acceptance, economic
stability, and love in the working-class districts of Mumbai. Just
ahead of the festival premiere, the Indian director sat down for an
interview with Lidanoir about the importance of social realism as a
central concept, displaying diversity through dialogue in different
dialects, and openly showing female desire in a patriarchal
society.
