The TVI Take
Andrei Tarkovsky's 1986 final film (made shortly before his death) about a Swedish family at a coastal house on the night of an apparent nuclear war. The structural commitment to the long-take cinematography (the burning-house single-take finale required two takes after the first camera malfunctioned), the Bach soundtrack, and the philosophical commitment of the protagonist's bargain with God establishes the catalog's most-direct theological argument.
