Sister Midnight + Filmmaker Q&A

Packed with pitch-black humour and anarchistic, cinematic surprises, Karan Kandhari’s fierce and funny SISTER MIDNIGHT is as bold and bawdy as its central character.. Gopal and Uma have just had an awkward arranged marriage and moved to a flimsy-walled shack in Mumbai. Gopal is soft-spoken and utterly shy, while Uma cannot cook nor manage a domestic budget. At first, Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her lack of domestic skills, her bumbling spouse and their nosy neighbours, but the nocturnal world of the city changes her. Transformed into a disturbing and ruthless figure, Uma succumbs to her most feral impulses… Featuring a knockout performance by Radhika Apte as a woman going to great lengths to take her life back, SISTER MIDNIGHT is never less than inventive and surprising – not least in its soundtrack which ranges from Bengali folk and country and western to hard rock and punk. Following the screening we are delighted to welcome on-stage the director Karan Kandhari and star Radhika Apte for a live Q&A.PT1H47M152025-03-15
