Press Release Janus Contemporaries Press Release: All That Breathes (2022) (1 Viewer)

​

Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes reinvents the environmental documentary by portraying, in incisive yet lyrical fashion, the reciprocal influence of animals and humans. For more than a year, Sen followed New Delhi brothers Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad as they rescued birds of prey from the increasingly destructive effects of urban pollution. While charting the siblings’ daily struggles and successes, he also documented their poetic reflections on humankind’s relationship to the environment, the interaction of wildlife with the city, and India’s explosions of anti-Muslim violence. Suffused with beauteous, sobering, and contemplative imagery, All That Breathes ponders the delicate bonds of interconnectivity among humans and between species.

Janus Contemporaries releases Blu-ray and DVD editions of first-run films, fresh from theaters, in association with the Criterion Channel.

Saw it this evening. A mesmerising documentary of how two brothers in smog-filled, riot-prone, filth-strewn Dehli, run a clinic in a tiny garage for 120 injured kites, owls and vultures. Remarkable. The cinematography was particularly good and the story was moving as well. I was so impressed at how injured birds of prey would just lie quietly on the garage table, while the brothers patched them up.

Currently going for $17.
