Film: The River (12/250)
Critics Poll: 127th

First Time/Rewatch: Rewatch
Jean Renoir's The River is so lovely. A coming-of-age tale set in Bengal, India, the story is about three girls falling in love and leaving their childhoods behind. The film is a lot like a travelogue; you are transported to a different time and place. While the story is told through a white perspective, the narration explains a lot of the traditions and local customs and you feel like you have a little peek into another life. This film isn't action-packed or dramatic. It's quiet and beautifully shot, and definitely worth a look.
