Charulata (1964) – S. Ray

Madhabi Mukherjee turns in a terrifically nuanced performance in an emotionally complex role as "the lonely wife" (the alternate title, which really says it all). Satyajit Ray experiments with superimposition and zoom (and a wind machine) to enhance the psychological focus.
