    Surprising and uplifting

    I had no expectations (not a fan of Bulgarian cinema) but the film evokes emotion, speaks to our collective past and present and leaves you on an optimistic note with the will to live and move on that Dante himself found after the turmoil.

    Vladimir Penev's performance is superb!

    You must watch

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

    If you have a taste for the unusual, I highly recommend!

    This is story about humanity (and inhumanity), trust and hope. A wonderful amalgamation of sumptuous camerawork, composed direction & excellent lead performance. I appreciate that this probably isn't to everyone's taste - but I really enjoyed it.

    I think people who are criticizing this film, weren't listening to several key hints. I thought it was a delight :)

    Brilliant !

    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.

    A modern expression of Dante's Divine Comedy

    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!
