About this film
Acclaimed artist/director Julian Schnabel's new film follows a disillusioned author drawn into a violent underworld quest to authenticate a manuscript believed to be Dante Alighieri's original "Divine Comedy". The compelling story weaves between 14th-century Italy and modern-day, exploring themes of love, divinity, and obsession.
