Le Batteur du Boléro is a short film by Patrice Leconte, released in 1992.
He has a bland expression at first, but as the film develops, he starts twitching his eyes, mouth and eyebrows.
He shows his discomfort by twitching, indicating that his back hurts, and his continuous muttering.
When a female timpanist starts her part, he looks enviously at her and mutters every time he looks back at her.
