THE MUSIC ROOM
A Refocus Film Festival Classics Selection | 4K Restoration
Desperately clinging to a fading way of life, a fallen aristocrat's (Chhabi Biswas) crumbling opulence is on full display when his music room in which he has hosted lavish concerts over the years sits as a shadow of its former vivid self. Based on a popular short story by Bengali writer Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay, this incandescent depiction of the clash between tradition and modernity is one of the defining works of master filmmaker Satyajit Ray and features some of India’s most popular musicians of the day.
