An exploration of the timeless relationship between human civilization and Earth's rivers. Spanning six continents, this visual and musical tour-de-force is by turns celebratory, cautionary, and ultimately hopeful that we are beginning to understand rivers in all their complexity and fragility. Narrated by Oscar Nominee Willem Dafoe. With music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Radiohead.
Cruise down the Mississippi River aboard the Mississippi Queen from Memphis to New Orleans. See antebellum homes and plantations in Natchez, Mississippi; the beautiful gardens of Rosedown in St. Francisville, Louisiana; and experience Cajun life and art deco architecture in Baton Rouge.
Critically acclaimed The River flows between a dozen diverse, well-etched characters in a small Finnish town, including a clandestine gay couple, a factory worker and his adulturious wife, and a suicidal young mother. It is a rich and insightful look at ordinary lives unfolding over the short time span of one autumnal Saturday morning.
