Deep River (深い河Fukai kawa) is a 1995 Japanese film directed by Kei Kumai. It is based on the novel of the same name by Shusaku Endo.[1] The film version was chosen as Japan's official submission to the 68th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, but did not manage to receive a nomination.[2][3][4] It also marked the final film appearance of legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune before his death in 1997.

The film has yet to see an NTSC home media release, nor even one with an English translation.
