1001 movies to see before you die. This was a touching nostalgic drama about days gone by and loss of identity, all based around Indian culture. It was well made for its day and certainly a different genre for the director. It was on Facebook.

A brilliant plot executed within the technology of the time. It keeps us in a question about the perfection it would have been made with current technology. Amazing direction, performance and the authenticity of music is commendable. A must watch for cinema lovers and artists.

A look at the end of an era

A look at the end of an era and of one man's fading away from this world and all that he knew and loved. What a universal and real, albeit super sad and depressing, film that captures time gone by. It's a intimate look at a man named Huzur Biswambhar Roy as he has survived through the years (Both his wife and son have died) and with each passing one, he is left behind from the consistently evolving modern world around him. He decides that he will throw one last grand event in order to relive the more happy past. This is my first film review of a Satajit Ray film and a nice and beautiful introduction to the profound Director's works, most of which I will one day view! Jalsaghar (The Music Room) gives a beautiful perspective of a culture gone by and the traditions involved. Recommended!
