Asked by Wiki User

Chaucer wrote in English, and Dante wrote in Italian, although both were working with older versions than we have now. Chaucer was writing in what they call "Middle English," which is often hard for modern speakers to understand. Dante's Divine Comedy was written in the Tuscan dialect, which was significant at the time because most people were writing poetry in Latin, and writing in other, "lesser" languages was considered uncool. :)

Is there a movie based on the Divine comedy written by Dante Alighieri?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes: What Dreams May Come (1998) with Robin Williams.

It shows the Paradise (Heaven) and the Inferno (Hell). It's based on Dante's Divine Comedy. You can see that for example in the fact that a person that commits suicide goes to Hell and "can't be saved"... I can't remember if they show the Purgatory though, but it's still based on that idea.
