Description:
Jean Renoir's first color film beautifully portrays India, based on Rumer Godden's novel, as it follows the coming-of-age stories of three young women. The River uses the Bengal river as a constant presence in their lives. Renoir’s deep understanding of India and its people creates a powerful film about how emotions and life unfold together. It’s a compelling look at human connection amidst constant change.
