How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1955 Danish film about a rural farming family where one son believes he is Jesus Christ and his sister-in-law dies in childbirth. The structural commitment to letting the canonical resurrection-sequence operate as actual theological-cinematic argument, and Dreyer's slow-pace formal discipline, is the catalog's most-direct sacred-cinema work.
