★★★★

Plot: Dante is guided by the poet, Virgil, through Hell.

Review: The first feature length film in Italian history, this is a faithful adaptation rife with stunning technical feats and surrealism.

English Title: The Inferno Source Material: Inferno by Dante Alighieri Year: 1911 Genre: Occult, Dark Fantasy Country: Italy Language: Silent Runtime: 1 hour 11 minutes

Directors: Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, Giuseppe De Liguoro Writer: Dante Alighieri Cinematographer: Emilio Roncarolo Composer: Raffaele Caravaglios; Tangerine Dream Cast: Salvatore Papa, Arturo Pirovano, Giuseppe de Liguoro, Augusto Milla, Attilio Motta, Emilise Beretta

-----

Story: 4/5 - Great adaptation that sometimes suffers from meandering.

Performances: 3/5 - Papa and Pirovano do little beyond mime speech, but the damned are wonderfully dramatic.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Just stunning.

Music: 4/5 - Tangerine Dream’s official re-score is haunting, if a little repetitive.

Effects: 5/5 - Amazing! Forced perspective, puppets, wire work, and more create nightmarish replicas of Antonio Manetti’s illustrations.

Sets: 5/5 - Beautiful mix of real locations, matte paintings, and sets.

Costumes and Make-Up: 3.5/5

Trigger Warnings:

Violence and mild gore

Offensive depiction of the Prophet Muhammad

Suicide

Torture

Extreme Catholic ideology (ex: suicide and sex are sinful)

Nudity

Film: L’INFERNO (d. Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, Giuseppe De Liguoro, 1911, Italy)

Forum: Logan Center   Format: 4K Digital

Observations: What a marvelous program: the screening of a 2021 restoration by L’Immagine Ritrovata Lab of the Cineteca di Bologna, accompanied live by Stefano Maccagno (piano) and Furio Di Castri (bass). This has been touring around the USA for a while now; this is the first appearance in Chicago. Advertised as a "feature," it is more akin to a series of trick films connected by intertitles. Very cleverly done. About 90-100 in attendance.

Passend zur Lektüre (wenngleich nicht der, die Sie jetzt wahrscheinlich annehmen. Erwarten Sie mit Spannung die nächste Leseliste!): L’inferno, der älteste komplett erhaltene abendfüllende (68 Minuten!) Film. Der Dichter Dante und sein verstorbener Kollege Vergil durchwandern gemeinsam die Kreise der Hölle, wo alle möglichen Leute, die Dante nicht leiden kann, akribisch gepeinigt werden. Es wirkt alles etwas statisch, punktet aber mit dafür, daß sie schon 110 Jahre alt sind, erstaunlichsten Spezialeffekten.

Midway upon the journey of our life  I found myself within a forest dark,  For the straightforward pathway had been lost...
