Plot
Warning: spoilers
This experimental mini-series, directed by Tom Phillips and Peter Greenaway, adapts eight of the thirty-four cantos from Dante Alighieri's Inferno, part of his 14th-century epic The Divine Comedy. Rather than conventional dramatization, the cantos are illuminated through layered and juxtaposed imagery, with the text delivered entirely in talking-head fashion and punctuated by a kaleidoscopic blend of newly shot and archival footage.
