The River
Director Jean Renoir's entrancing first colour feature--taken entirely on location in India--is a visual tour de force. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden contrasts the growing distress of three young women with the immutability of this Bengal river around which their daily lives unfold. Enriched by Renoir's subtle understanding and appreciation for its people and India, The River gracefully explores the relations between perpetual creation and emotions.
