A TV Dante (Cantos 9 to 14)

This film is structured into six segments, each lasting about 10 minutes. It serves as a continuation of the uncompleted series A TV Dante, which started with a 1989 installment by Peter Greenaway and Tom Philips. Ruíz's interpretation of the Cantos acts as a link between his previous depictions of hell and his later video essays made for Chilean television.

Given its unique production for Channel 4 and its connection to the larger Dante theme, A TV Dante (Cantos 9 to 14) stands out as a rare exploration of literary adaptation in film. The runtime is a concise 60 minutes, allowing for an engaging yet brief experience. The cast includes notable actors like John Gielgud and Bob Peck, adding depth to this artistic endeavor. Collectors may appreciate the film's rarity and its significance in the context of Raúl Ruiz's broader body of work.
