A TV Dante (Cantos 9 to 14) is one of those intriguing projects that really showcases the ambition of early 90s experimental video art. It's divided into six segments, each around ten minutes long, and the atmosphere is quite haunting, with an almost ethereal quality. The pacing meanders in a way that captures the essence of Dante's work, yet it's distinctly interpreted through Ruiz's lens. The visuals might feel a bit raw but in a good way, allowing the viewer to focus on the themes of hell and redemption. It’s fascinating how these segments were never aired, leaving this piece as an almost lost fragment of what could have been a more extensive exploration. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill drama, it's a unique watch for those who appreciate a blend of literary adaptation and avant-garde film.
