''A TV Dante'' is a 1990 mini-series directed by Tom Phillips and Peter Greenaway. It covers eight of the 34 cantos in Dante Alighieri's ''Inferno'', part of his 14th century epic poem ''Divine Comedy''. Peter Greenaway and Tom Phillips won the Prix Italia for A TV Dante, their ambitious project to produce a video version of ''Dante's Inferno''. Greenaway was first inspired by artist Tom Phillips’ illustrated translation of the work and they collaborated on this, the first eight Cantos of the work, using all the state-of-the-art technological resources available to the electronic media at the time. The eight Cantos of the film are not conventionally dramatised, rather they are illuminated with layered and juxtaposed imagery and a soundtrack which comments, counterpoints and clarifies. There are visual footnotes delivered by relevant expert authorities, and these often perform the function of narration as well as illustration. The result is a video journey through Dante's underworld. The press was unanimous in welcoming their bold new approach to the art of television when A TV Dante was transmitted on Channel 4 in 1990. ''A TV Dante'' was continued in 1991 through a further six of the Cantos, 9 through 14, by Chilean director Raoul Ruiz. Starring John Gielgud, Bob Peck and Joanne Whalley-Kilmer. ==Prizes== *Winner: Special Prize Prix Italia *Winner: Festival International du Nouveau Cinema el de LA Video *Winner: Finalist Award - New York International Film and TV Festival 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A TV Dante」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
