Dread by the Decade: L'Inferno

👻 My Kofi ❤️

English Title: The Inferno Source Material: Inferno by Dante Alighieri Year: 1911 Genre: Occult, Dark Fantasy, Surrealist Rating: Unrated (Suggested: PG-13 for nudity and violence) Country of Origin: Italy Language: Silent Runtime: 1 hour 11 minutes

Directors: Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, Giuseppe De Liguoro Cinematographer: Emilio Roncarolo Writer: Dante Alighieri Composer: Raffaele Caravaglios; Tangerine Dream Cast: Salvatore Papa, Arturo Pirovano, Giuseppe de Liguoro, Augusto Milla, Attilio Motta, Emilise Beretta

Plot: Dante is guided by the poet, Virgil, through Hell.

Review: The first feature length film in Italian history, this is a faithful adaptation rife with stunning technical feats and surrealism.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Story: 4/5 - Great adaptation that sometimes suffers from meandering.

Performances: 3/5 - Papa and Pirovano do little beyond mime speech, but the damned are wonderfully dramatic.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Just stunning.

Music: 4/5 - The original score was lost, but Tangerine Dream’s official re-score is haunting, if a little repetitive.

Effects: 5/5 - Amazing! Forced perspective, puppets, wire work, and more create nightmarish replicas of Antonio Manetti’s illustrations.

Sets: 5/5 - Beautiful mix of real locations, matte paintings, and sets.

Costumes and Make-Up: 3.5/5 - Most of the characters are nude, but the costumes that are present are quite decent.

Passend zur Lektüre (wenngleich nicht der, die Sie jetzt wahrscheinlich annehmen. Erwarten Sie mit Spannung die nächste Leseliste!): L’inferno, der älteste komplett erhaltene abendfüllende (68 Minuten!) Film. Der Dichter Dante und sein verstorbener Kollege Vergil durchwandern gemeinsam die Kreise der Hölle, wo alle möglichen Leute, die Dante nicht leiden kann, akribisch gepeinigt werden. Es wirkt alles etwas statisch, punktet aber mit dafür, daß sie schon 110 Jahre alt sind, erstaunlichsten Spezialeffekten.

The volume is entitled "The Portraits of Elegance - Teatro alla Scala" and was actually a supplement given out in December 2004 with Vogue Italia to celebrate the opera house reopening. The volume features several images from the Farabola archives – all taken between the early 50s and the early 70s – and portray ladies wearing glamorous evening gowns and furs at various season openings. La Scala reopened after Second World War on 11th May 1946 with a concert directed by Arturo Toscanini. At the time Paris was celebrating the rebirth of fashion with Dior, while the Milanese tailoring houses were slowly starting again to produce their own designs.In 1951 the season at La Scala was opened for the first time on 7th December rather than on the 26th as usual. The new opening coincided with the arrival of a singer destined to become very famous, Maria Callas. From the 50s on crowds started gathering in front of the theatre to admire the celebrities and aristocrats going to the season opening performances. Wearing glamorous dresses became the norm and while Parisian designers were still favoured by many women, the openings at La Scala also helped new designers and tailoring houses emerging, among them also Jole Veneziani, Gigliola Curiel, Pirovano, Livoli, Tizzoni, Farioli, Federico Forquet, Germana Marucelli and Mila Schön. In 1953 Maria Callas appeared visibly thinner than on her debut, gossips spread in the theatre about the diet she had followed, but among the “authors” of her transformation into a sophisticated woman there was also an Italian designer, Elvira Leonardi Bouyeure, better known as Biki, who dressed the singer for the next 25 years. Biki would send Maria Callas dresses and accessories accompanied by little numbers and booklets that showed her how to match the various garments and items. (text by Anna Battista)
