I don't know how they did it...but they did

I mentioned in yesterday's post that the Spousal Unit and I were going to celebrate Valentine's Day by watching a 101 year old film adaptation of Dante's Inferno. Mission accomplished.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting them to nail it. I encourage you, Gentle Reader, to take an hour or so as soon as you can and watch this eerie but amazing film. It's about as close as you can get to the spirit of the Inferno without reading it. Or going through hell with Virgil.

I am convinced that there is a hidden Dante geek within every Goat Rope reader.

I'm not sure what this says about the state of marital bliss at Goat Rope Farm, but the Spousal Unit and I plan to celebrate Valentine's Day by watching a 1911 silent film adaptation of Dante's Inferno.
