When Calvin reestablished the validity of Old Testament Law, he
inevitably made the ban on
images a living commandment once again, without the additional factors of Byzantine imperial politics or Islamic influence coming into play at all.
Though
inevitably doomed, this outrageous heist
makes for a striking cinematic
image, like something out of a Kelly Reichardt movie (or perhaps French director Michel Gondry's cabin - on - wheels road movie «Microbe & Gasoline»): a wild - eyed woman with nothing to lose, racing down country roads with her 8 - year - old son in the front seat and a full - scale home fishtailing behind her.
