Review of My Voyage to Italy (1999) by Edgar C — 17 Sep 2009
A classic cinema class from a true master.
Scorsese portrays through this amazingly beautiful documentary, the films that have inspired his life, marked a period of his life for him and that really influenced his filmmaking style and have inspired him for life.
Films of Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio de Sica, Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini, among others (La Terra Trema, I Vitelloni, 8 1/2, L' Avventura, La Dolce Vita, Ladri di biciclette, Umberto D., Roma Città Aperta, and countless others) are shown here, and the way Scorsese describes them, analyzes them and explains them really change our perspective and way of looking towards this type of beautiful cinema.
A true gem, I didn't even feel those 4 hours running. Give this a watch, at least in two parts, and change the way you look at classic movies forever.
82/100.
