Hello,

That recent thread about a Czech science fiction movie reminded me
of a film I have been trying to identify for years. I believe most of the
following facts are correct:

1 - It is a French movie.

2 - The action, or part of it, takes place in India.

3 - The musical theme is the slow movement from Schubert's
string quintet.

4 - One of the characters is a physician who explains at some
point that he is trained as a cardiologist but has to work as
a general practitioner as there are very few cases of heart
disease in his area.

I saw this movie (or a substantial part of it) on French language
Canadian TV maybe 20 years ago, and I never managed to identify
it. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes, this seems so strange to me as well that I think I might have dreamed
it all in my sleep. But then again, maybe it's a real movie.

Maybe The River? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043972/

Thanks to all those that took the time to respond. The movie
is 'Nocturne indien', 1989, directed by Alain Corneau:

It must have been fairly recent when I saw it, but obviously it was
somewhat less than 20 years ago.
