The Eyes of Dante
He is considered the greatest European poet of the Middle Ages and his work unfolds the whole panopticon of occidental education – theology, philosophy, sciences, politics and literature. But who has really read it, the “Divine Comedy”? Who knows more of its creator Dante Alighieri than that he had an eagle-like profile and was in love with a woman named Beatrice? 700 years after Dante’s death, the filmmaker Adolfo Conti travels through Italy with Dante’s words in mind and eyes to see the world as Dante did. As the film encounters the beauty of arts and the Tuscan landscape, the forces of nature, a dramatic life story is unfolded.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Adolfo Conti constructs a cinematic pilgrimage, relying on visual leitmotifs—from Giotto's frescoes to modern Tuscan hills. He explores not just a biography, but a living perception of the world through the poet's eyes, where each frame becomes a commentary on the Comedy.
What lingers after viewing is a meditative immersion where landscape and art speak louder than chronology. The film leaves one feeling as if they have touched the very source of the Florentine master's inspiration. — MovieFinder Editorial
