The TVI Take
Andrei Tarkovsky's 1983 Italian-exile film about a Russian poet researching a 19th-century composer who lived in Italy. The structural commitment to letting the exile experience (the protagonist's specific cognitive register of being-displaced-from-home) be the actual subject is the most-direct treatment in the Tarkovsky catalog of the director's own life situation.
The 9-minute single-take candle sequence is canonical formalism.
