Theyboth carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Black Narcissus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The River is
A French director discovers color filming in 1950s India and tries to balance romantic entanglements against the river that rolls on regardless. Three girls navigate love and loss on the banks of the Bengal while the monsoon steadily ignores their drama. A gentle film that forgets to do much outside its sun-dappled languor.
