The River
Director Jean Renoir's entrancing initial colour feature--taken on location in India--will be a tour de force. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden, the film contrasts the growing distress of three young women with the immutability of the Bengal river around which their daily lives unfold. Developed by Renoir's subtle comprehension and admiration for its people and India, The River gracefully explores the fragile connections between emotions and everlasting creation.
