	3/18/99: The Towering Inferno and Other Disaster Classics
		The project apparently began under the baton of the departed Joel McNeely (who conducts The Towering Inferno, Twister, Independence Day and The Swarm) and finished under John Debney (who tackles Earthquake, The Poseidon Adventure and Titanic), although the remaining cues (from Dante's Peak, Volcano and Outbreak) are the original film recordings released by Varese.
		The Towering Inferno (1974) was probably the first theatrical film to showcase the beginnings of John Williams's blockbuster style, and he wrote a bustling, high-energy main title that remains one of the most rousing and enjoyable works in the composer's oeuvre.
		Following the generous 19:42 of Inferno, everything on the CD is available elsewhere: Mark Mancina's opening to Twister bursts with rapid-fire energy as it attempts to convince us (along with director Jan DeBont's sweeping helicopter shots of the Kansas countryside) that we should be very excited about competing groups of tornado chasers.

	The Divine Comedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thom Yorke of the band Radiohead has also referenced Dante's Inferno as a recurring source of inspiration for his music and many references to the poem can be found in the band's lyrics.
		The first cantica, Inferno, is by far the most famous of the three, and is often published separately under the title Dante's Inferno.
		Franz Liszt's Symphony to Dante's Divina Commedia (completed 1856) has three movements: "Inferno", "Purgatorio" and "Magnificat" (originally the third movement was to be called "Paradise": dissuaded by Wagner on this plan, Liszt completed the work by a "Magnificat").

	Kinoeye Italian Horror: Dario Argento's Inferno (1980)
		While Inferno has often been criticized for terrible acting, dialogue and an incoherent plot, this compelling film—which Argento calls his "purest and most sincere"—seems less concerned with traditional narrative trajectories than it does with the art of horror film-making.
		Imagine combining Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), Victor Fleming's musical adaptation of Frank L Baum's novel The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Dante Alighieri's early 14th-century poem, "Inferno," which features a descent into Hell.
		it is first and foremost the dark entity of the house, the one that partakes of subterranean forces."[5] In Inferno, Argento stages a meeting between the audience and "the dark entity of the house" through the visual vocabulary of a mise-en-scène that appears inspired by the lucid dreaming of surrealism.

		In Inferno, such exchanges are commonplace and they create an overwhelming sense of strangeness, much like one would have in trying to explain the meaning of a dream in full upon waking.

	Henry B. Walthall: Film Review--The Talkies 1935-1936
		Curiously, "Dad" Brunn is not the father of any character in China Clipper just as "Pop" McWade is not the father of any character in Dante's Inferno.
		This film is one of my all-time favorites, mostly due to the excellent performance by Ronald Colman as Sydney Carton.
		The film itself is a little slow going, but Henry is amazing as the archeologist David Burton.

	Lauer 2002
		In the film, each cinematic time measure is called girone (circle) and not tempo (time, but also musical measure), as is usual in other Pasolini films (the allusion to the circles of hell in Dante's Inferno is apparent).
		Although the numbers 4 and 8 are found in Sade's novel, Pasolini carries the exigencies of these numerals beyond Sade, as one sees in the representation of outdoor spaces (e.g., the chateau has 8 columns) and even in the realm of nature (4 geometrically designed trees surround the entrance to the palace).
		The destructive and negativistic spirit of Sade is there, as well as his architectonic, repetitive, and copious narrative style, and even his exhaustive and meticulous tendency to include all possibly imagined minutiae.

	Amazon.com: Red Planet (2000 Film) [SOUNDTRACK]: Music
		On "Red Planet" she lends her angelic soprano to three tracks: "Inferno," "The Fifth Heaven," and "Canto XXX," all cleverly taken from Dante's "Inferno" (another song on the soundtrack, "Dante's Eternal Flame," pays tribute to the author as well).
		Overall, "Red Planet" is a unique listening experience that fans of electronic/Emma Shapplin should enjoy and a nice accompaniment to the film.
		IMHO the track that stands clearly above all the others is 'The Inferno', a classic-neoelectronic combination of time and space, heightened to near extasy by Emma's strikingly clear voice, something even unapproachable to S. Brightman.

	Another Russia Part 2
		This 1990 feature, named after the second circle of hell in Dante's Inferno, is arguably his first masterpiece.
		Russian Ark director Alexander Sokurov has been Lenfilm Studios's brightest international star for the past 15 years.
		The Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York recently described Ermler, who spent most of his career at Lenfilm, as "one of the many Soviet-era artists in need of serious re-evaluation (or just plain discovery)." This rare gem (and Katka's Reinette Apples, the other Ermler film in this series) shows why.

	Infernal Affairs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chinese title refers to the lowest level of hell in buddhism, and the English, while similarly having connotations of Dante's Inferno, is a play on words on internal affairs.
		The film sold exceptionally well in Hong Kong and was considered "a box office miracle".
		The film won only one award, Best Original Film Song, for the song "Chang Kong" (performed by the Cantopop band Beyond).

	DVD Times: Region 2 Reviews: Sal� - The 120 Days of Sodom
		Onto that, Pasolini grafts a structure inspired by Dante�s Inferno, in which the characters progress through four stages � �Antinferno�, �Circle of Manias�, �Circle of Shit�, �Circle of Blood� � by the end of which they are either dead or irredeemably corrupted.
		The film has three main sources of inspiration, and the title reveals two: the Marquis de Sade�s novel The 120 Days of Sodom transposed to Mussolini�s short-lived attempt at creating a Fascist power base in the northern Italian town of Sal� in 1943.
		Despite copious full-frontal male and female nudity (once the film gets going, there�s scarcely a shot that doesn�t feature at least some), there�s nothing remotely eroticised about the way it�s presented � few films have more successfully reduced living human bodies to anonymous pieces of meat.

	The Mixed-Drink.com - Movie Review - Jacobs Ladder
		The Film is directed by Adrian Lyne and was also known as "Dante's Inferno".
		DVD renters will find extra scenes cut from the movie that are a level more terrifying than what was cut to film, and in some areas connect pieces of the plot.
		This movie is an extremely deep psychological thriller that is not only haunting and terrifying, but leads the viewer to wonder in a deeper fashion about the subject matter and the substance of Jacob's torment.

	The Star Maker
		As photographed by Dante Spinotti and conceived by Tornatore's eye for the sublime and surreal image (flawed as Paradiso was, some of its visuals were astounding -- take the scene in which the movie theater bursts into an inferno, for example), the Sicilian landscape is as mysterious and alive as its people.
		Had Tornatore chosen to go the sentimental route of Paradiso and Il postino -- what Pauline Kael has described as the cute-child-and-clean-old-peasant style of foreign filmmaking -- the result would have first manifested itself in these montages of simple people expressing their deepest desires, dreads, and memories.
		A stunning document of the triumph of art and love over history and greed, Tornatore's new film offers hope that his country's film industry is capable of a new renaissance, that it can turn its eyes from the saccharine to the stars.

	CNS STORY: Vatican uncovers screen gems to inaugurate newly restored theater
		For the Jan. 20 inauguration of the remodeled theater, invited guests were shown an 1896 reel of Pope Leo XIII and a rare 1910 dramatization of Dante's "Inferno," along with a sneak preview of a new documentary by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni.
		In one of the very first motion picture films made soon after the Lumiere brothers invented the modern cam-motion mechanism, Pope Leo is seen sitting with guards and attendants at his side, adjusting his skullcap and blessing the camera.
		Funding for the complete makeover, which included plush new armchairs, a 19-foot-by-8-foot screen, and a state-of-the-art projector and sound system, came from the Knights of Columbus as well as from the Italian film companies Cinecitta and Istituto Luce.

	Albright, Review of _Gothic_ - Scholarly Resources, Romantic Circles
		Russell, whose films have included Crimes of Passion, Tommy, Altered States, Women in Love, Dante's Inferno, and Devils, is certainly not known for subtlety, and Gothic is surely no exception, as Russell subjects his audience to 96 minutes of his peculiarly excessive vision of the events of Villa Diodati in June of 1816.
		The dramatization of Mary's waking dream--and her vision of Fuseli's 1781 painting "The Nightmare" lit by flashes of lightning, (I don't know if the painting was there or not, but it's a nice touch) do provide an interesting atmosphere, and this is the portion of the film I've used a few times in my classes.
		At some risk of being driven off the list, I might mention Ken Russell's 1986 film, Gothic which stars Gabriel Byrne, Julian Sands, Natassha Richardson, Miriam Cyr and Timothy Spall.

		Shown at the Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 1984.
		After escaping slavery on another planet, a three-toed alien (Joe Morton) crashes on Ellis Island and makes his way to Harlem.

		Nine Inch Nails, which just opened a three-month tour with a sold-out show at Rochester's Auditorium Center, was perhaps the most unexpected success of Woodstock '94.

	LOVE LIZA - DVD
		Philip Seymour Hoffman is Dante and the slings and arrows of mendacity are his Virgil, chasing him through the inferno of his day to day.
		As Wilson befriends a genuine RC enthusiast Denny (a wondrously unaffected Jack Kehler), his new friend's understanding of Wilson's needs (particularly when coming to his defense at a Louisiana hobbyists' convention disrupted by the demented Wilson) functions as the film's spiritual and emotional centre.
		The introduction of a ravaging addiction as Wilson's coping mechanism functions as a restoration of a kind of control to the process rather than brief surrender to entropy--it becomes absolutely necessary, and there's no question of its destructiveness.

		The mouthpiece for this thematic undercurrent is Somerset, a literate man who also happens to be a detective, a man who can read a clue ("This isn't going to be a happy ending") or Dante's Inferno with equal aplomb.
		This required that the whole film had to be re-graded digitally, applying color and contrast correction to every shot under the director's supervision.
		Trivia: The "Platinum Series" DVD of Se7en by New Line is mastered from a new HDTV transfer which was made directly from the camera negative.
