Description

The Italian cinema’s first feature-length film is a sumptuous adaptation of Dante’s Divine Comedy which takes its visual inspiration from Gustav Dore’s illustrations. Dante’s poetry is given due respect in their rigorous, philosophical transposition to the big screen. Live piano by David Drazin. The feature will be preceded by Stan Brakhage’s The Dante Quartet (1987, 35mm, 6 min.). Presented with the support of the Center for European Studies.
