Dev Patel makes his directorial debut with the delicious and salacious world of Monkey Man. We talk about the important of telling our own stories, the multidimensional ‘Dev Gaze’ in addressing culture (class , caste etc) women (the rights and lack of rights), ancient cultures having more than two genders as well as religious and political tensions. We talk about how this felt non negotiable.
Trigger warning: Monkey Man addresses sexual assault, violence of women and this interview mentions the Nirbhaya case. Resources below.
Check out the video version of the interview
Monkey Man will be in Australian cinemas from Thursday April 4th.
