In the Hand of Dante

Director Julian Schnabel is scheduled to be in attendance and participate in a conversation moderated by Eugene Hernandez, director of the Sundance Film Festival and co-founder of Indiewire, after the film screening. 

Julian Schnabel (Basquiat, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) returns with In the Hand of Dante, a fever-dream epic of art, obsession, and faith rendered in his unmistakable painterly style.

Blurring past and present, Schnabel transforms literary history into raw, tactile cinema—lush with texture, shadow, and spiritual intensity. His bold visual language, shaped by decades as a celebrated artist, infuses every frame with sensuality and grandeur.

This sweeping odyssey is brought vividly to life by an extraordinary ensemble including Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Gerard Butler, Al Pacino, John Malkovich, and Martin Scorsese—an audacious cinematic event from a true auteur.
