Breakdown

Shot entirely on location in Pune, Maharashtra, Breakdown reimagines the classic American film noir genre in a foreign context, where the bright hues of vulgar Indian commerce cast their own shadows. Our American tries to navigate a world where he is suddenly denuded of power, and warning signs are hidden from Western eyes in plan sight-and sound. Haunted by past deeds, dogged by fate, alone in his thoughts and desperate for catharsis, the American is confronted with a choice-and the decision he makes sends him plunging into the longest night of his life.
