The Music Room [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray]

Released shortly before his Apu trilogy, this is felt to be one of Satyaijt Ray's finest productions. Based on a novel by Tarashankar Banerjee, it is the story of the decline of the aristocracy--watching as a wealthy man slowly loses his wealth, his position, his family and his sanity while he watches life go on status quo for all of his friends and neighbors.
