The River

France, India, USA 1951 | 99 minutes | English, Bengali | Hebrew subtitles

Captain John is a WWII veteran staying with his uncle in India. Three young women fall for his charms. Jean Renoir presents a candid depiction of colonial life in India with characters that shape their lives according to their virtues and limitations. The result is a somewhat forgotten masterpiece that should not be missed.
