Dante's Heaven

Dante's Heaven is un unique Bulgarian film - captivating and successful. Clever story, unforgettable characters, perfect movie script. You must watch!

A modern, thought-provoking reading of Dante Alighieri's classic "Divine Comedy", this movie isn't for the weak of heart; it deals with real, traumatic issues presented in a delicate way.

Despite its heavy plot, it is nonetheless about forgiveness and leaves the viewers with hope for the future.

I highly recommend it!

Great Vladimir Penev! And Radina Borshosh... she is a brilliant young actress!

The movie provokes you not only to watch with interest but to think about some basic life questions.

I loved the work that the operators did, great compositions, fantastic usage of light which makes the movie so pleasurable to the eye.

If you consider yourself a fan of Divine Comedy and want to experience Inferno, Purgatory and Heaven you are at the right place!

The movie depicts the story of a man, named Dante, who goes through an existential crisis (Inferno), after that he searches for solutions for the difficulties in his life (Purgatory) and in the very end he implements the knowledge he gathered while walking down his own path of subjective justice (Heaven). Did he reach his Heaven? Or maybe he is constantly ruminating through the circles of the Inferno? The viewers decide for themselves!

Both the characters and the situations in the movie are quite realistic. It is almost like a modern interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy and this clearly shows that the concepts of Inferno, Purgatory and Heaven are absolutely independent of space and time!

Prepare for a deep, dark trip through the labyrinths of the human soul! Worth watching! Enjoy!

NB This will not be a sophisticated review showing a deep understanding of the inner emotions of the main character.

When I first read what is the movie about I thought to myself, oh no, the next movie referring to the Communist times. But actually this is not the main story and the focus is on the simple, calm and good person called Dante. Perfect role of Vlado Penev, who shows the awakening of Dante in a slow and gentle way.

Impressive close-up shots, focus on small details, beautiful Raya (Radina Borshosh).

A time nice spent, left me thinking and with positive feelings, thank you.
