Having been attracted to Polish cinema from New Delhi, he shares his journey, accompanied by his late friend Adi, who was a radical artist aiming to stand out and challenge the norms, while Talwar yearned for acceptance. This internal conflict bordering on feelings of being a fraud is woven throughout the entire movie, even in its sharpest interactions with other expatriates, long-time residents, local shopkeepers, postmen, and everyday pedestrians.

Schoenbrun expressed to Marc Malkin of EbMaster during the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sunday that he hopes his work as a director won’t undergo significant changes. He added, “As an artist, it’s essential to sense the atmosphere around you and incorporate that into your creations.

Schwarzenegger acknowledged that some might claim his success is due to his family connections. However, he pointed out that he’s invested over a decade in acting classes, performed regularly in school plays, meticulously crafted his characters, and endured countless rejections during auditions.
