The River
Director Jean Renoir’s entrancing first color feature—shot entirely on location in India—is a visual tour de force. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden, the film eloquently contrasts the growing pains of three young women with the immutability of the Bengal river around which their daily lives unfold. Enriched by Renoir’s subtle understanding and appreciation for India and its people, The River gracefully explores the fragile connections between transitory emotions and everlasting creation.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Any time you get Seward homeboy Josh Thomas and National Geographic's J.J. Kelley together on a little trip you know you need to buckle up for a laugh-outloud adventure film.The dynamic duo certainly know how to tickle the Alaskan funny bone on their third feature, Go Ganges! The official word: Set in a stunning background of colorful landscapes, the film captures the danger, joy and significance of the mighty Ganges River. J.J. Kelley and Josh Thomas, creators of the award winning "Paddle to Seattle", decide to travel the 1500 mile length of the Ganges from its source to the sea.They employ several different means of transport (including rickshaw and a scooter) along the way. The filmmakers provide colorful testimony to the stress the river endures, and convey both the beauty and horror of this sacred river.What they don't tell you: it is difficult to determine what is more shocking - what they find on the river banks or in the bathrooms. A must-see film for anyone needing a little light show in the darkest month of the year.
