My Voyage to Italy

Legendary director Martin Scorsese took a cinematic journey to Italy with this terrific documentary. Scorsese shares his family roots and cinematic influences through an intimate look of classic Italian cinema by some of its greatest masters including Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica, Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni amongst others. It's fascinating film by a master whose love and passion for cinema is evident. Besides being informative, it also shows appreciation for Italian cinema which has changed cinema through its revolutionary neo-realism which Scorsese discusses in depth. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
