Dante intended to grab the City of Florence by its shirtfront and shake sense into its people until they understood just how badly they had strayed from justice and decency.
The story of the man, the history of the times, a sense of place and Dante's own ambitions all are examined in this glowing documentary. This is a moving work brilliantly executed under Ric Burns. The scholarship, the storyline, the rich artistry, music, cinematography, set design and costumes are brought together beautifully to give the viewer a memorable experience.
Thank you to PBS for airing it and to all the artists and patrons involved in making it happen.
