Short description
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 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.
What's left behind the scenes
- Edmond Knight, who played the father, actually lost an eye during World War II. And Thomas Bryn is indeed one-legged.
- The film was shot in Technicolor to make the colors rich. Additionally, another five months were spent on color correction to improve the result.
