The River
Director Jean Renoir's entrancing color feature--taken entirely on location in India--is really a tour de force. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden contrasts the growing distress of three young women with the immutability of the Bengal river around. Enriched by Renoir's subtle understanding and admiration for India and its people, The River reluctantly explores the delicate connections between creation that is perpetual and transitory emotions.
