The Music Room (Satyajit Ray, 1958)
The story is much less interesting than it sounds on paper but the direction is utterly gorgeous. I don't know about Chhabi Biswas' musically enraptured expression but Ray for his part conveys a love for unadulterated music I haven't seen in film since Huillet-Straub's Bach movie. It's beautifully shot but it would be worth watching with just the soundtrack over black leader as far as I'm concerned.
