According to John Ciardi, these are incontinence (the she-wolf) violence and bestiality (the lion) and fraud and malice (the leopard) Dorothy L. The three beasts, taken from Jeremiah 5:6, are thought to symbolize the three kinds of sin that bring the unrepentant soul into one of the three major divisions of Hell. He sets out to climb directly up a small mountain, but his way is blocked by three beasts he cannot evade: a lonza (usually rendered as " leopard" or " leopon"), a leone ( lion), and a lupa ( she-wolf). The poet finds himself lost in a dark wood ( selva oscura ), astray from the "straight way" ( diritta via, also translatable as "right way") of salvation. The narrator, Dante himself, is thirty-five years old, and thus "midway in the journey of our life" ( Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita ) – half of the biblical lifespan of seventy ( Psalm 89:10, Vulgate Psalm 90:10, KJV). The poem begins on the night of Maundy Thursday on March 24 (or April 7), 1300, shortly before the dawn of Good Friday. Here, Dante is lost at the start of Canto I of the Inferno.

It plays surprisingly well in softcore mode and is a good example to would-be crossover directors on how to come up with a finished product that will appeal to both markets, X and XXX.Gustave Doré's engravings illustrated the Divine Comedy (1861–1868). It ran 69 minutes compared to the hardcore 80 minute edition, with evidently alternate angles (fellatio strictly invisible with camera behind the woman's head) and other tricks to avoid any & all penetration or money shots. I saw the softcore version of the video from Purgatory (appropriately) Films in England, distributed by video company Salvation. I thought he did overreach in a stressed Jesus portrait on Ava's wall, however. Though SPFX are modest, Raven does create some interesting imagery as he depicts hell/limbo/purgatory. Perhaps the most arousing sequence is a nod to GOLDFINGER, with Evan Stone servicing two girls who are covered with golden makeup (a la Shirley Eaton) as Ava watches, on an impressive (for porn) set carpeted with fake snow. The women are all quite beautiful in this opus, including Jessica Drake who has emerged as a porn superstar in the decade since it was shot. Hence, the nightmares, which unfold in the time-honored structure dating back to AN INCIDENT AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE.

Her husband Randy Spears is as slimily dislikable as usual, plotting to kill off Ava by hiring a couple arsonists to truss her up and burn her alive.

Fortunately for her Savage is cast as a submissive type, not typical of his thousand or so other porn roles. Adult Video News, as quoted on the video box, took this to be pegging the video at "closet communists" in the audience, but as delivered by Ava it has little impact. Early in the video she has a lengthy diatribe to shout at boss Herschel Savage, basically taking on our whole culture in America and the rat race of making a living. It's presented as a wild nightmare for wifey Ava Vincent/Jewel Valmont, a lovely blonde who is skilled in sex scenes but not much of an actress. I give him a B for effort, and recommend the video only to tolerant intellectually-minded porn fans. With LIMBO, Michael Raven tries to create a surreal nightmare that is to be taken seriously, but the results are decidedly mixed. I have a love/hate relationship with pretentiousness in the porn genre: at times I'm bowled over by a filmmaker's audaciousness, but just as often am repelled by pitiful overreaching, which merely shows up a director's lack of talent.
