an exquisitely well-done movie from the pov of sound (if not music) is the 1964 japanese film "the woman in the dunes." the director became the first japanese director nominated for an academy award. he studied existentialism in france in the 1950's, made this 1 film in the sixties, and then retired to cultivate and tend to japanese flower gardens for the rest of his life. the meshing of the visual with the aural in this film actually lives up to the well-worn description "hauntingly beautiful."
