Dante's Inferno

1911 · 15 min

A solemn, theatrical silent pageant of the underworld, more striking for its imagery than its drama.

Overview
A two-reel adaptation of Dante Alighieri's Inferno from the Divine Comedy by Helios Film. It is less well-known than the five-reel feature produced the same year by Milano Films, but it was released earlier in 1911.
