Dante's Inferno

1911 · 72 min

A solemn, dreamlike procession through painted hellscapes, more tableaux than story, unsettling in its stark theatrical imagery.

Tagline
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Overview
The classic tale of Dante's journey through hell, loosely adapted from the Divine Comedy and inspired by the illustrations of Gustav Doré. This historically important film stands as the first feature from Italy and the oldest fully-surviving feature in the world, and boasts beautiful sets and special effects that stand above other cinema of the era.
