official description

A key transitional point in the modernist cinema, Voyage in Italy saw Roberto Rossellini, one of the fathers of Italian neorealism, crafting a new, more allusive cinematic language that would help pave the way for the next wave of cinematic innovators such as Jean-Luc Godard and Michelangelo Antonioni. An unhappy married couple (Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders) vacationing in Naples find the beauty and rough vitality of their surroundings cracking the cynical, bitter shells in which they have encased themselves. Rossellini fuses documentary immediacy with penetrating psychological insight and metaphysical revelation, concluding with an unforgettable confrontation with the Eternal in the volcanic ruins of Pompeii.

Thanks to Anne Morra and Mary Keene, MoMA; Marie-Pierre Lessard, Cinémathèque québécoise.
