Review of My Voyage to Italy (1999) by Gilar D — 28 Jun 2004

If you're a fan of scorsese and the italian cinema then this is the perfect dvd for you...i'm a cinema student at my uni, and after I watched this "love letter" a year ago (yes, i'm always late for great stuff) for the first time on the local tv station I was speechless and regret being a cinema student, it's like falling in love for the first time again to the italian cinema!!.

..forget paying your thousands of dollars to go to lectures about italian cinemas and sit there in class listening to your professor something telling you of what he think of it, this is "the" scorsese we're talking about!! and he's teaching you about films he loved, and you can watch it at home for god's sake!! and its cheap!!.

..anyways, from rosselini's "open city" to fellini's "8 1/2", scorsese expresses his love and passion of italian cinema slowy and captivating, he even repeat a scene if he thinks it's necessary, it's so detailed and crystal clear, the way he explains the films to you is like a making a confession to a priest, everything is told, even the secrets, although I never confess since i'm not a christian but still, you get what I mean.

..anyways, this dvd helps me a lot in a way that first you feel the passion and then you get the information and it all make sense, am I talking crap again?...ok, the point is, if you're a fan of scorsese and the italian cinema and you havent watched it, just buy it now, it's a must!.
