    After reading it, the truth shouted: Lao Tzu is going to India. Beautiful scenery: houses, linden trees, temples, and various festivals and god worship ceremonies, and of course there are first-class Indian beauties like Melana. I think it's by far the best color film for Renoir, full of Europeans' magical imagination of the oriental world. At the same time, I also have a question, is it true that if you play the flute against the milk under the linden tree, will cobras really come...

    The Indian sketches under the European lens are full of curious narration and aesthetics, and the sinuous and mysterious tones are contrasted.

However, the ability of a vase to be so exquisite and enchanting is also considered to be accomplished, which has won my...

    Nothing more

    Said it was the director’s first color film. It was said that it started from the sad youth of the three girls. Yes, but it still feels wrong. It seems that it is because of the feeling that it is always impossible to concentrate too much. Is it a problem of exertion, or is the emotional point of...

    "The River" shot by Jean Renoir in 1950 was shot on his way home from India, and it was also his first color film.
    Knowing a section of his resume is helpful for the appreciation of "Dahe": Jean Renoir resolutely embarked on the road of the military before completing his studies. During World War...
