Dante's Inferno Trailer

Description

NOW OUT ON DVD. Performed in toy theater style, using paper puppets and sets, Dante's Inferno is a satirical update of the classic tour of Hell. Its venue is the familiar places of modern civilization: mini malls, airports, gated communities, used car lots, and the U.S. capitol. The ancient Roman poet Virgil (voiced by James Cromwell) guides our hapless Dante (voiced by Dermot Mulroney) through the nine circles of the underworld. Much like an animated graphic novel, the film follows the hapless slacker Dante as he accompanies Virgil into the depths of the Inferno, encountering various popes, princes, presidents, and pimps along the way.
