Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Lin2050 A person visits a dirty ghetto and a hill without trees. The people living in the ghetto are mostly naked, jumping up and down sometimes. Note that the ghetto is not dark, or frightening, or disgusting. It's simply tasteless and boring. You call this Hell? Hell is a place that's exciting. You don't fall asleep while watching the images of it.I am not trying to be rude, as this is said to be the world's second feature-length "movie", made in 1911. But after taking a look at those great paintings on this topic, created hundreds of years before this "movie", it becomes impossible to understand what the people creating this were up to.Well, maybe in 1911, anything can be considered a great movie, as long as it shows things that are not still.

tobias_681 L'inferno is a pretty early feature length film. In fact it's one of the earliest that still exists today. 1911 is more than hundred years ago and the impact of all that time shows in the movie. It's highly unlikely that they'll ever make something like this again. A Mayor production with a lot of naked people suffering the tortures of hell is a no-no today AND THAT'S A SHAME because this movies gives one of the best and most outright visualizations of hell there has ever been. The movie takes Dante's portrait of hell and puts it on the screen in big fashion and it's not so much the story that matters but the images. Broad lands of people suffering in hell and it looks absolutely believable even when souls fly around and the Devil eats people alive. The visuals are terrific and a one of a kind experience. So if you want a movie that portrays hell go with this one. It's not a movie you'll watch over and over again but it's a good idea to watch it at least once in your lifetime and let it have an impact on you.

Rectangular_businessman This silent-era underrated masterpiece was way too ahead of its time.Even when this film wasn't an entirely faithful adaptation of the epic poem written by Dante Aliegheri, I think that this is the only cinematic version that was able to capture with such magnificence all the horrors described by Dante about the Underworld realm, having a visual style highly influenced by the wonderful paintings done by Gustave Doré.Of course, there are some scenes that could be considered "dated" or "cheesy" for modern viewers, but personally, I think that the "ancient" look of this film gives it a solemn, timeless tone, that fits perfectly well with the source material, being in that one of the most incredible and ambitious samples of the early years of cinema. A must-see.

Tobias_R This film, as the title plainly indicate, is a dramatization of Dante's Inferno which comprises a third of his Divine Comedy. As is well-known to all, the Inferno relates Dante's journey through Hell being guided by the Roman poet, Virgil. Dante is shown the nine circles of hell where sinners are punished with afflictions appropriate to their sins. The climax of the work is seeing Lucifer himself at the very center of hell.The influence of this work in Western art and literature is staggering and obvious. Much of what Christians believe to be typical of Hell is derived not from the bible but from Dante. Artists and illustrators from the late Middle Ages through the 19th century have depicted scenes from Dante's work. Indeed, this movie uses Gustave Dore's illustrations of the Inferno as the basis of the cinematography.As for the film itself, its technical crudity and the highly uneven quality of the film stock, really make it mainly of archival value. Moreover, the acting is of the broad gesturing variety associated with early silent movies.Still, despite these limitations, the care and effort that went into this film is obvious. The special effects are not half-bad and the Dore illustrations are brought to life reasonably well. To a film audience in 1911, this was plainly seen as a momentous event. In its runs in Europe and America both before and after World War I, the film was extremely successful and grossed for the time enormous box office.Indeed, in the liner notes to the DVD edition of this movie, an advertisement by a British distributor from 1911 encouraged theaters to rent this film by pointing out how profitable it had been to other exhibitors. In this ad, one can see how the feature film, a film longer than 60 minutes, became established as the basic mode in which film would be presented in the future. From the 1890s until 1911, the short subject was the only medium in which film was shown. With the success of this film and other Italian feature films which followed like The Last Days of Pompeii and Cabiria, film makers like D.W. Griffith were inspired to direct long, involved films like Birth of a Nation and Intolerance.Unlike most other commentators, I wasn't too put off by the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. I agree it wasn't great but it wasn't the worst I've heard.
