The latest film by virtuosic artist and Academy Award nominated director Julian Schnabel, In the Hand of Dante, follows the parallel lives of Nick Tosches, a New York author in the 21st century who embarks on a violent journey after he is recruited by a mafia don to steal Italian poet Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy written in the poet’s own hand, and Dante in the 14th century seeking inspiration to write his most important work – each man unknowingly connected through time and their obsessive quest for love, beauty, and the divine.

The Paris Theater is proud to present the exclusive New York City theatrical engagement of In the Hand of Dante, opening June 12th, including  a Q&A with Julian Schnabel and actor Sabrina Impacciatore moderated by multi-disciplinary artist Laurie Anderson following the 6:30 PM show on Friday, June 12th.

To celebrate this latest work from Julian Schnabel, we’re thrilled to announce Portraits by an Artist: The Cinematic Visions of Julian Schnabel, a complete retrospective of Schnabel’s feature films also playing the week of June 12th.
