“Follow the dark and violent path of a man who plunges into a metaphorical hell until he reaches paradise in search of his forbidden and impossible love,” the IMDb page for director Julian Schnabel’s new film portends.
Plunge, you say? PLUNGE? Like one does in, say, a pool? Is this metaphorical hell reached via diving board at the Coney Island YMCA (or is it the one on McBurney)? Is that why Butler’s character’s suit color matches his messed-up hair?
For those who may have no idea what we’re talking about, In the Hand of Dante is based on the 2002 Nick Tosches book of the same name, where a fictionalized version of the author finds himself on a juxtapositional journey to that of the author Dante Alighieri.
The film stars Oscar Isaac as Nick, and will feature an impressive cast (seemingly playing multiple parts in the interweaving narratives) including Butler and Gal Gadot. Schnabel recently revealed that Al Pacino, John Malkovich, Benjamin Clementine, and The White Lotus star Sabrina Impacciatore will also make appearances in what sounds like an opulent, star-studded mystery.
I think we can all agree, however, that the real mystery is: how could Gerard Butler’s character in this film have messed up his hair this badly? Was it the first time he’d ever dyed his hair blonde?
Was the pool over-chlorinated that day? Is the pool and/or chlorine sentient and have it out for Mr. Butler’s character for reasons we do not understand? Are we really over-indulging our imagination here in the name of word count? And has anyone told him that all he needs to do is mix a tablespoon of baking soda into his shampoo to help neutralize the green?
Only time will tell, I guess.
