Achilles Heel
Directed by Anshit Bhardwaj
29 minutes
Our Take
Shot in Shimla, in the Himalayan region of India, with a unique combination of long takes, jump cuts, and lush cinematography by Ashish Rana, write/director Anshit Bhardwaj’s Achilles Heel explores what it means to be an actor and artist in a world increasingly interested in ambition over authenticity. We couldn’t think of a better theme to fit the ethos of Art House Cinema.
Synopsis
Struggling to fit in the competitive world, an actor decides to abandon his craft and leave the city. On his final day, he confronts what he is actually leaving behind.
