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.

Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

Yes, it's important as an very early feature film that actually survives in something like its original form (the loss of much of a film t like The Kelly Gang is a tragedy) but L'inferno is pretty primitive.The story telling technique consists of an inter-title telling us what we're about to see, followed by a static shot showing it to us. The acting is of the roll your eyes and wave your arms around variety the actor playing Peter of Vigna is so over the top it's an object lesson in overacting) and the actors playing Dante and Virgil are, to put it politely, pretty porky. There are some great images here - the river of filth, filled with the flatterers, a decapitated man, holding his screaming head up high in his hand - but there's quite a bit that's laughable too. Cerberus looks liked a rather friendly three headed alpaca, and the harpies look like something out of a school play. And then there's one of the most inappropriate soundtracks ever imposed on a poor innocent piece of celluloid. Tangerine Dream… really? So as a historical film artifact… worth the watch, but only with the sound down.
IMDB Reviewer
Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

The ambitiousness of early Italian film production is marked in a series of grand-themed epic feature films that were produced long before the feature film took hold in Europe and America. Only the Australians had embraced the feature film before the whole-hearted dedication to the form by the Italians.

Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

In L’Inferno (1911) we have an fine example of early epic filmmaking, for the scope of the subject matter is broad and the production is visually impressive. Themes of Italian history were often chosen in early Italian feature films to signal the solemn artistic intent of their filmmakers and to provide a more dramatic perceived context within which to mount lengthier stories. L’Inferno is no exception from this trend.

Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

Based on the first part of Dante Alighieri’s mammoth epic poem The Divine Comedy, L’Inferno faithfully follows the source poem in its representation of the journey of the author Dante through the realm of Hell as guided by the master poet Virgil. The production design is highly-influenced by and faithful to the illustrations of Gustave Dore, and is a visual treat for the viewer.

Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

Virgil, at the behest of the late Beatrice, leads Dante downward through the circles of Hell in a quest for spiritual enlightenment. As the eternal consequence of each dominant sin is revealed to Dante, he is in turn moved to experience a full range of human emotions from compassion to indignant anger.

Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

In the surviving English-language release prints of L’Inferno, long expository intertitles detail for the audience the upcoming action of scenes to follow (which we can assume follow the lead of the original Italian intertitles). This was a common early filmmaking practice intended to guide the viewer through plot details that were hard to convey through gesticulation of the actors, and it was a practice that the world’s filmmakers soon abandoned for shorter titles that were instead intercut with the film’s action. Also, the original English-language L’Inferno intertitles might have been laced with more exerpts from the source text to impart some richer flavor of Dante’s poem to the viewer.

Dante's Inferno / L'inferno (1911) [Re-UP]

Many of the film’s ambitious visual effects are crude but well executed for 1911, including the appearance of Beatrice, the swarm of carnal sinners, the circles of grafters and the sowers of discord, and the ultimate appearance of Lucifer.
