- Synopsis
- One of the most acclaimed directors of our time, Academy Award(R) nominee Martin Scorsese, directs and narrates this remarkable in-depth look at the careers of great Italian filmmakers and their art's profound influence on him. With MY VOYAGE TO ITALY, Scorsese takes the viewer on a fascinating journey highlighting the classics of Italian cinema, from the neo-realism of post-war Italy through its transition into opulent period drama and surrealist fantasy. Illuminated by insightful movie clips and his own impassioned commentary, Scorsese's deeply personal observations offer not only an absorbing lesson in the history of Italian film, but its direct connection to the best in contemporary filmmaking as well. As inspiring as it is richly detailed, you'll never look at movies the same way again once you've experienced this landmark documentary!

-
"Superb."
-
"Scorsese's heartfelt love letter to Italian movies up to 1961."
-
"There is no denying the passion or intelligence of this work, which is meant to be an encouragement to explore the films for ourselves rather than a dry history lesson. On that level, 'Viaggio' fully succeeds."
-
"An excellent guide to some of the highlights of post-World War II Italian cinema."
