The River
Director Jean Renoir's entrancing very first colour feature--shot entirely on location in India--is a tour de force. Based on the book by Rumer Godden, the picture eloquently contrasts the growing distress of three women with the immutability of this Bengal river around. Developed by Renoir's subtle understanding and appreciation for both India and its people, The River explores the fragile connections between creation that is everlasting and emotions.
