Based on the novel by Rumer Godden, "A story based on the immemorial themes of childhood, love and death," is how the French director Jean Renoir described the Bengal-set The River, his lyrical account of a British teenage girl's romantic awakening during the last years of the Raj. Shot in exquisite Technicolour on the banks of the Ganges, it's a wonderfully serene film which is filled with vivid images of nature and which displays a warm curiosity towards Hindu customs

Collaboration: Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
