The Quiet Triumph of Anuparna Roy's 'Lovers in the Blue Night' The Venice Film Festival has long been a proving ground for emerging talent, and this year's Horizons competition has yielded a striking example of quiet triumph: Anuparna Roy's "Lovers in the Blue Night".
The Indian filmmaker's sophomore effort has secured international sales rights with Parallax, and it's easy to see why.
Roy's return to the Lido comes on the heels of her historic win as the first Indian director to take home the Horizons best director prize for "Songs of Forgotten Trees", a breakout success in its own right.
