Il mistero di Dante

An interesting deepening on Dante Alighieri, the most important and controversial italian poet.

This lame, stumbling hand-held horror is so boring it qualifies more as torture than mystery. So bad it's not funny! It has a slight cult following as do most movies with a low budget and fewer ideas. According to the director Louis Nero it attempts "Two perspectives: the exoteric and the esoteric one." Sadly it only manages to achieve the idiotic. Still, respect to Louis for trying. His other films have been quite trying too. Hmm what else can one say? It stars F. Murray Abraham who I liked in Amadeus and Scarface. It's his fault I went along. It also includes Franco Zeffirelli and he is from Florence so I guess that is relevant!

Very interesting documentary full of hidden information about the much loved Florentine poet. The visual animation scenes are truly beautiful and give an extra touch to the narration proposed here by the director and the intellectuals.

A great documentary about Dante Alighieri. Many experts gives interesting informations about the italian poet.

Beautiful documentary about Dante Alighieri explained under another point of view. The exemplare direction and the performance of Murray Abraham, perfect as always, create a compelling and stimulating portrait of the great Florentine poet.
