JOURNEY TO ITALY

(1954) dir Roberto Rossellini w/Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders [97 min; DCP]
Among the most influential films of the postwar era, Roberto Rossellini's JOURNEY TO ITALY charts the declining marriage of a British couple (Bergman and Sanders) on a trip in the countryside near Naples. More than just an anatomy of a relationship, Rossellini's masterpiece is a heartrending work of emotional transcendence and profound spirituality.

NYT Critics' Pick "In its time, this film represented the arrival of something new, and even now it can feel like a bulletin from the future." A. O. Scott, The New York Times

"Voyage to Italy is the kind of movie that makes those unhappily in love feel understood. And even if that's not you (congratulations), it's still possible to groove on Rossellini's stranger-in-a-strange-land psychodrama." Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

(4 of 4) "As befits a filmmaker who defined as well as challenged the definition of Italian neorealism, Voyage to Italy unfolds as a thorny narrative and a profoundly personal documentary." Fernando F. Croce, Slant Magazine
