A TV Dante the inferno Cantos I-VIII

A TV Dante is an attempt to bring to the television screen Dante's "Inferno". Utilising radical new visual techniques, Greenaway and Phillips create a dazzlingly rich tapestry which both illustrates and complements Dante's text, re-creating a 600 year old work as a late twentieth century, post-modern masterpiece.

  • ""The first eight cantos of Dante's Inferno (up to the entrance to the city of Dis). The text is read entirely in "talking head" fashion, and punctuated with a kaleidoscopic blend of both newly shot and archival footage."--IMDB website."

  • "This DVD includes the first eight cantos of Dante's poem. The feeling of Dante's poem is conveyed through juxtaposed imagery that conjures up a contemporary vision of hell and its meaning is deciphered by scholars in visual sidebars who interpret Dante's metaphors and symbolism. A TV Dante came about through a collaboration between Channel Four Television, the artist Tom Phillips and Peter Greenaway. It is an attempt to bring Dante's Inferno to the television screen using new visual techniques, recreating the work as a late twentieth century post-modern work. Dante, as narrator, is played by Bob Peck; his guide, the Roman poet Virgil, by Sir John Gielgud, and Dante's muse, Beatrice, is portrayed by Joanne Whalley."@en
  • "A multi-layered dramatisation of one of Western literature's greatest masterpieces: the medieval poet Dante's vision of Hell, where figures from his own time mix with mythological and biblical characters as they suffer horribly appropriate punishments fortheir sins."
