  Welsh cult musician Gruff Rhys documents his latest musical road trip retracing the fantastical American journey of his 18th Century relative the explorer John Evans. In search of a lost tribe of Welsh-speaking Native Americans John Evans left Wales for America in 1792 with only a $1.75 in his pocket. Alone and without a horse he walked into the wilderness of the Great Plains of the Wild West and reappeared seven years later as Don Juan Evans. During the course of his bizarre-yet-true adventure Evans won the allegiances of the American Indian tribes of the Omaha and the Mandan. Swam with Alligators. Hunted Bison. Survived malaria defected to the Spanish crown and single handedly appropriated North Dakota from the Canadians. Yet Evans's greatest achievement was to create the map of the Missouri river used by Lewis and Clarke to help them discover the Pacific Ocean. Legend has it he died broke and out of his mind in New Orleans at the tender age of 29 never knowing the impact of his life's work. American Interior is an investigative concert tour. Fiction fact fantasy myth and music documentary collide as Rhys flies like an eagle and howls like a wolf while following in the footsteps of his (extremely) Great uncle. Starting at Yale University's Beinecke Library where Evans' famous map is said to reside Rhys fully immerses himself in concerts recording sessions and conversations with journalists academics psychologists and locals on Evans' route. From Baltimore to St. Louis up to the Mandan Reservation Casino and down the Mississippi basin to the Old Governor's house in New Orleans Rhys investigates Evans's significance in American history the true circumstances of his death and the lost location of his final resting place.

• Peter Greenaway's A TV Dante: The Inferno Cantos I-VIII | DVD | (18/04/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Greenaway collaborated with English painter/polymath Tom Phillips to create this visually impressive attempt to bring Dante's Inferno to the television screen. Bob Peck plays Dante, as narrator; his guide, the Roman poet Virgil, by Sir John Gielgud, and Dante's muse, Beatrice, is portrayed by Joanne Whalley. The Divine Comedy was originally written at the beginning of the fourteenth century, when its author was 35, or 'halfway through the journey of this life'. The political and national turmoil of Italy at the time forced Dante Alighieri, ambassador, diplomat and governor, to re-assess his life and embark on a spiritual journey. The three stages of this journey are the three books of the Comedy (the prefix Divine was added later): Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. There is little doubt that the Inferno is the most widely known of these three; Dante's vision of a multi-layered hell, with its graphic depiction of the various grotesque punishments meted out to its inhabitants, is horrific yet compelling on both the page and the screen. Although the allegorical value of Dante's original vision may be less immediately relevant to this late twentieth century society there is a universality to the sins and the sinners that we encounter on his journey.The eight Cantos of the film are not conventionally dramatised, rather they are illuminated with layered and juxtaposed imagery and a soundtrack which comments, counterpoints and clarifies. There are visual footnotes delivered by relevant expert authorities, and these often perform the function of narration as well as illustration. The result is a dazzling video journey through Dante's underworld.
