Summary: L'Inferno (1911), the first Italian feature film ever made, is a fantastical journey into the imagination of Dante as we travel through hell encountering angels, demons and Lucifer himself. Lovingly produced over three years using incredible special effects and set designs this cinematic masterpiece, a blockbuster in it's time, has been lost in film archives for nearly 100 years. This first ever DVD release of L’Inferno is scored by Tangerine Dream and brings this silent film into the modern age in an extraordinary and powerful synthesis of old and new.
