    Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no reason! Day #338 Into November, back to other genres - in 'The Music Room' (1958), dir Satyajit Ray depicts the downfall of a once noble landlord in his search of prestige, opulence & social standing. #BluRay #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

    He loses his family and all reason. It’s like the Satyajit Ray movie “Jalsaghar (The Music Room)” but it’s real.

    Great movie. For a long time my favorite from Ray was The Music Room but over the past couple years Charulata has taken the title. Heartbreaking.

    On this week's episode we discuss Satyajit Ray's The Music Room (1958), a film (and director) it took far too long for the Criterion Collection to show us.📽️ www.lostincriterion.com/e/spine-573-...

    It’s almost hard to stop, but: Charulata The Apu Trilogy (rewatched Pather Panchali in the cinema this year and it’s a miracle of a film) Mahanagar Home and the World Kanchenjungha Days and Nights in the Forest The Music Room Devi Charulata is, I think, the greatest.

    That class was Feudal-adjacent earlier. Satyajit Ray has a film on this very topic called The Music Room where a landlord puts all of his dwindling fortunes in concerts, threatened by his newly rich neighbor

    Good job, San Francisco film folks. Saw The Music Room yesterday. Avant garde for the time. Godly framing. Shakespearean. A showcase of music and dance.
