THE DANTE QUARTET

Directed by Stan Brakhage
United States, 1987
Avant-Garde, Short, Animation

Synopsis

This hand-painted work, six years in the making (37 in the study of The Divine Comedy) demonstrates the earthly conditions of ‘Hell’, ‘Purgatory’ (or ‘Transition’), and ‘Heaven’ (or ‘existence is song’, which is the closest I’d presume heaven to be from my experience). – Stan Brakhage.
