“In the Hand of Dante” is an ambitious dramatic thriller that tells an epic story, set across two time periods over a chunky 153-minute runtime. At its center is Oscar Isaac, who plays two roles: a New York author in the modern day and the famed Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. Adding yet another wrinkle to the tapestry, the NYC scenes are presented in stark black-and-white, while the historical sequences are in full color.Based on the novel by Nick Tosches, Isaac plays a fictional version of Tosches himself, who is recruited by the New York City mob to verify that a copy of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” was written in the poet’s own hand, making it priceless. Interspersed with this crime odyssey are 14th-century sequences focused on Dante’s life. The movie also stars Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino and Jason Momoa.Watch "In The Hand of Dante" on Netflix now'Gone Girl' (2014)
