THE RIVER

Directed by Jean Renoir
France, India, 1951
Drama, Romance

Synopsis

Director Jean Renoir’s entrancing first color feature—shot entirely on location in India—is a visual tour de force. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden, the film eloquently contrasts the growing pains of three young women with the immutability of the holy Bengal River.
