Dir. Shaunak Sen. 2022, 94 mins. DCP. In Hindi with English subtitles. In New Delhi, one of the world’s most populated cities, where cows, rats, monkeys, frogs, and hogs roam alongside people, brothers Nadeem and Saud care for injured kites—black birds of prey that drop daily from the city’s smog-choked skies. As environmental toxicity and civil unrest escalate, the relationship between this family and the neglected, eco-essential kites forms a poetic chronicle of the city’s collapsing ecology and deepening social fault lines. An unprecedented winner of both Sundance’s Best World Feature Documentary and the Cannes Golden Eye award, All That Breathes is the rare work of nonfiction that astounds for both its visual virtuosity and its observational ease around Nadeem and Saud, who’ve created a haven for themselves as well as their beloved birds.
