The opening question of the Werckmeister Harmonies write-up instantly brought to my mind the film The Gospel According to Matthew. Even though that film, obviously, has Christian roots, it was directed by a Marxist atheist named Pier Paolo Pasolini. I bring that up because the author rightly gives a (quick) rebuke to that director for his objectionable movies. I have only heard about them and thankfully never saw them for myself. However, I did see his Gospel film and it is an exception, considered by believers and non-believers alike to be one of the best movies about Jesus ever made. It also made the Vatican's list of 45 important films. So, don't overlook it.
