University Film Series: The River/Le Fleuve, Tuesday, November 14th, 6:00 PM, Rowland Taylor Recital Hall - PAC 134 (France/India/United States, 1951) 99 minutes. Directed by Jean Renoir. Introduced by Dr. Erin K. Kelly (English). An international production and helmed by famous French auteur Jean Renoir, the 1951 film The River/La Fleuve is a coming-of-age story set entirely in India, with the title river serving as an emotional backdrop and counterpoint to the very human drama unfolding on its banks. Shot in beautiful Technicolor, The River won the International Award at the prestigious Venice Film Festival in 1951, and film luminaries including Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson cite it as a personal favorite; indeed, The River had a profound influence on Anderson's 2007 family-comedy The Darjeeling Limited. This film would be of particular interest to those working in arthouse and independent cinema; French cinema; filmic depictions of India; colonialism; and romance. Be sociable and share with your colleagues, students, staff, campus clubs/organizations, and members of the community who might be interested! This film is FREE and open to the public!
