The essay

Reading Shekhar Kapur

Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.

Why this filmmaker matters

Shekhar Kapur has 0 directed films in the Nutevio catalogue.

Signature style

The recognisable elements are rewatchability, visual style, originality. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same eye, re-tuned for different registers. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is staged.

Legacy

Kapur set terms other filmmakers now work against: the structures, the pacing and the refusal to explain. Awards bodies have often been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.
