Synopsis
Dante's Inferno is a compelling four-quadrant documentary presented as a visual and narrative journey to Inferno told by over 30 celebrities, scholars and artists from both Italy and the United States. It features Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Eric Roberts, Golden Globe nominee Jeff Conaway, Italian Legends Franco Nero (Golden Globe and David di Donatello winner), Arnoldo Foà, and Monsignor Marco Frisina from The Vatican, to mention a few.
The Infernal story is presented circle by circle in an unprecedented and unique way that no other film has done up until now. Visually, it features over 300 paintings and illustrations by Gustave Dore, Francesco Scaramuzza, Amos Nattini and Giovanni Stradano among many other artists. In addition, it features 75 original paintings, by Dino Di Durante, a remade from the earlier 72-piece collection, already published in books in 33 languages, "Inferno - The Art Collection".
It also features some dramatic and thrilling animation clips from the historic animation films Dante's Hell Animated featuring Eric Roberts as Dante as well as the award winning Inferno Dantesco Animato featuring Franco Nero. Furthermore, the final touch of this great film is the addition of some excerpts from the first Italian feature film L'Inferno (1911).
Furthermore, but not least by any means, it is based on the newly written thesis "Dante's Inferno Decoded", a never talked about vision of Hell until now, as a physical development in hollow Earth. Such revolutionary vision is visually backed up by Dino Di Durante's new collection stated above.
This is the story of Dante's own journey through the first part of the afterlife, Hell. Virgil guides and protects Dante on his dark journey descending circle-by-circle to the center of the Earth, and out into Purgatory. The greatest love story ever written, the one of a man who went through worst of the afterlife to consummate his love relationship at the Gates of Paradise (sequel).
This first slate of a trilogy is based on one of the greatest stories of all time, The Divine Comedy - Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. This story has a built-in fanbase like only The Bible can rival, 60 million in Italy alone! Inspiring films that answer all humans' basic questions is quite unique, mainly when it features an amazing international cast.
