Ric Burns’ PBS “Dante” in 2-2 Hr. Parts

Dante (TV Series 2024) - IMDb

Two thumbs up.

A nice background, summary, analysis, and appreciation of Dante’s The Divine Commedia (1321) several years in the making. A brilliant, seamless, entertaining fusion of speeches, interviews, and narratives by actors, experts, and others. Every aspect of earthly human life is analyzed.

“Dante’s literal journey is also an allegory of the progress of the individual soul toward God, and the progress of political and social mankind toward peace on earth.”–The Reader’s Encyclopedia

A true labor-of love and long overdue film on the epic allegorical poem.
