The River, taking place near the Ganges, begins as ethnography, then concerns itself with a British family and the arrival of a troubled American vet (Thomas Breen). The drama is light until an untimely death shatters the peace. The scenes before and after are poignant and intelligent; the tone meditative and contemplative. Rating: A
