Storyline:
The documentary film chronicles the life, work, and legacy of the great 14th-century Florentine poet, Dante Alighieri, and his epic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, one of the greatest achievements in the history of Western Literature.
Part One: The Inferno (1216-1308) explores the turbulent background of medieval Florence from 1216 to Dante’s birth in 1265, and chronicles Dante’s childhood, education and early career as a poet and politician — culminating in his exile in 1302, and his decision to write The Divine Comedy — plunging from there into the mysterious world of the poem itself, and Dante’s descent into the inferno.
This video is currently unavailable.
Part Two: Resurrection (1309 and after) Interweaving soaring scenes from the second and third parts of The Divine Comedy with key events of Dante’s biography, Part Two chronicles the poet’s journey up the mountain of Purgatory, and the heavenly spheres of Paradise — then goes on to explore the impact and afterlife of the poet’s great masterpiece, from his death in 1321 down to the present.
