- Metadata:
An adaptation of a semi-autobiographical novel by Rumer Godden, The River was shot in India and is one of the most beautiful color films ever made. It tells a simple story of a colonial family (mostly women) and their relationships with Indians, but it is also a gentle, unsentimental, and moving meditation on the themes of memory, time, and geography. “The river runs,” a repeated phrase in the film, is a perfect expression of Renoir’s entire approach to cinema. In Bengali and English with English subtitles. (35mm Presentation)
