In 1998, a struggling writer [Oscar Isaac] is forced by a ruthless gangster [Gerard Butler] to assist in a bloody search for the handwritten manuscript of Dante's The Divine Comedy. Schnabel intertwines that story with that of Dante [Oscar Isaac], who falls for Gemma [Gal Gadot] in 1303 and thus finds the inspiration for his masterpiece. Gerard Butler appears in this film as Pope Boniface VIII. There are supporting roles for Al Pacino, John Malkovich, and Martin Scorsese, among others, in this beautifully filmed and superbly acted blend of historical melodrama and crime thriller by the visual artist Schnabel. It sometimes gets bogged down in dialogue and is not without pretentious moments, but anyone who loves idiosyncratic, intellectual cinema will be perfectly satisfied. Based on Nick Tosche's equally challenging novel.
