    The River - Directed by Jean Renoir, India/France, 1951. 35mm, 99 mins, color

    Part of International House Philadelphia's incredible India! series of events for October!

    Shot entirely on location in India, director Jean Renoir’s entrancing first color feature 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, around which their daily lives unfold. Enriched by Renoir’s subtle understanding and appreciation for India and its people, The River gracefully explores the fragile connections between transitory emotions and everlasting creation.
