	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Il Mio Viaggio in Italia (My Voyage to Italy)
		Most importantly, though, My Voyage to Italy is Scorsese's defense of neo-realism as a emotional means of cleaning up the damage left in Italy during and after World Word II.
		While My Voyage to Italy is never less than engaging, Scorsese only superciliously addresses the influence these films had on his own style (almost the entire film has been reconstructed from archival footage).
		My Voyage to Italy is Scorsese's personal response to Italian films that shaped his world, films where "nothing but time stared back at us." This riveting memento mori, like 8 1/2 to Fellini, is Scorsese's pure expression of love for the cinema.

	My Voyage to Italy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Scorsese's new documentary, My Voyage to Italy, is a passionately idiosyncratic history of the Italian cinema, framed by stories about his immigrant family.
		The Rossellini is something else entirely: stark fl and white, no music at all, languid rhythms, non-professional actors and a brutal story that edges forward incrementally rather than leaping from event to event.
		8 1/2 as the "purest expression of love for the cinema that I know of." This is modesty: My Voyage to Italy is a love letter (to the movies, to Italy, to his parents, and especially to Rossellini, Visconti and Fellini) just as passionate, reckless and beautiful.

	DVD Verdict Review - My Voyage To Italy
		The documentary's title alludes to director Roberto Rossellini's 1953 film Voyage to Italy (Viaggio in Italia), and proves remarkably apropos both because Rossellini is the filmmaker over whom Scorsese most fawns, and the documentary is less a survey of Italian cinema than a ruminative expression of Scorsese's personal experience of it.
		My Voyage to Italy begins with an overview of Scorsese family history including their Sicilian roots, life in Little Italy, and the filmmaker's recollections of watching neorealist and epic Italian films on television and how those movies acted as a lifeline for the older members of his family, maintaining their connection to the old country.
		My Voyage to Italy is a warm and loving look at the power of movies, ideal for fans of Italian cinema and Martin Scorsese.

		My Voyage to Italy conveys an infectious enthusiasm for cinema and shines a light on several groundbreaking films that influenced not only Scorsese, but also filmmakers and cineastes worldwide.

	Roberto Rossellini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Shortly after the liberation of Italy in 1945, Roberto Rossellini took to the war ravaged streets of Rome and filmed a highly unsettling, yet profoundly affirming story of the struggle and defiance of ordinary people in the face of human adversity, and created the indelible image of Open City.
		Voyage in Italy opens to a shot of a reserved British couple, Alex (George Sanders) and Katherine Joyce (Ingrid Bergman) traveling in silence down a long, empty, narrow road on the Italian countryside.
		They are awaiting the sale of an inherited villa in Naples, and have decided to seize the occasion and spend undivided time together by touring the regional attractions.

	Sicilian Culture: News: Scorsece's 'Voyage' to the Neo World
		October 24 2001 - - Martin Scorsese's superb, monumental "My Voyage to Italy" began in his parents' Little Italy living room in the late '40s when his Sicilian immigrant family gathered around its new TV on Friday nights to watch Italian movies.
		Scorsese felicitously describes neo-realism as the juncture of history and art, born of a dire economic necessity that precluded the expensive conventions of commercial filmmaking and a need for Italian filmmakers to regain the honor and dignity of their battered nation through an honest depiction of its wartime ordeal and defeat.
		In an interview this week, Scorsese said "My Voyage to Italy" came about as a result of discussions he had with Raffaele Donato, co-executive producer of the documentary.

		My Voyage To Italy is rated PG-13 for some images of violence and sexuality.
		He also talks about the area in New York that he grew up in and how it shaped him as a young man. Normally this kind of stuff might be dry and boring, but Scorsese's passion about it pulls you in and grabs your attention.
		Still, if you give My Voyage To Italy half a chance, you may find yourself hooked by it.

	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - Voyage to Italy
		Rossellini's potent assemblage of scenes from a marriage is a captivating and brilliantly written study of a union broken by boredom, blame, deception and denial.
		Voyage to Italy is one of the finest human dramas of Rossellini's post-neorealist period.
		By choosing specific locations to tell us something about the emotional state of his characters, the director makes Voyage to Italy an unlikely companion piece to his neorealist classic Germany, Year Zero.

		My Voyage to Italy, Martin Scorsese’s four-hour remembrance of his most influential brushes with Italian cinema is a definite improvement over his earlier omnibus documentary A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies.
		The films that he used to illustrate his relationship with domestic cinema were a more idiosyncratic, individualized batch than the paragons of postwar Italian cinema chosen here.
		As an introduction to Italy’s cinema, My Voyage to Italy is quite an achievement, and comes highly recommended.

		In the late 1940s he was first introduced to the films of Italy by subtitled movies on a 16-inch television.
		Putting this "Voyage" at a level above the usual documentary on film history is the inclusion of extensive scenes from many of the selected films, allowing Scorsese to give penetrating comments on the story arc, themes and the directors' styles, discussing the complete film rather that just a selected clip.
		Scorsese concludes this outstanding "Voyage" with scenes from Fellini's "8 1/2," explaining why it is "the purest expression of love of cinema," adding that his Italian voyage is not over yet.

	My Voyage to Italy (1999)
		In this documentary that will be treasured by scholars and serious film buffs, director Scorsese takes the viewer on a fascinating, epic voyage into postwar Italian cinema from neo-realism to the '60s-era classics of Federico Fellini and Michelangelo Antonioni.
		The reason for his sudden burst of backward-looking rapture is Federico Fellini's own valentine to cinema, 8 ½, just one of the many films Scorsese catalogs in this ode to Italian cinema.
		My Voyage to Italy inspires a hunt for these sometimes elusive (or downright unavailable) titles, proof enough that the professor has taught his lesson well.

	Martin Scorsese's Voyage in Italy
		This series was inspired by the pending release of Il Mio Viaggio in Italia (My Voyage in Italy), director Martin Scorsese’s incomparable survey of the postwar Italian cinema and the impact it continues to exert both on his own work and on our understanding of the art of film.
		De Sica combines striking imagery shot in the streets of Rome (a rally with Umberto and dozens of other protesting retirees, the park where he walks his dog) with eloquent studio scenes (the huge hospital ward, the charity soup kitchen) to create a searing portrait of a society that has lost its convictions and compassion.
		Rossellini’s follow-up to Rome, Open City is a compendium of six episodes that focus on a series of cross-cultural encounters during the Battle of Italy (1943—45)—all unified by the director’s neorealist strategies (location shooting, use of nonactors) and his search for signs of humanity in even the most brutal of circumstances.

		My Voyage to Italy is the metaphysical voyage of a man retracing his childhood infatuation with the movies.
		As testament to Scorsese's preternatural cinematic fixation, the colored pencil drawings he made as a child, which were rudimentary storyboards, are included in the documentary.
		My Voyage to Italy is also a voyage of ethnic identity and of an Italian-American reconnecting with the place of his family's origin, which becomes available to him in the powerful images and emotions of Italian cinema.

		A companion piece to his earlier documentary series A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, Il Mio Viaggio In Italia offers Scorsese's perspective on Italian film of the past, chronicling the influence and impact it had on him, as well as the rest of the world.
		Il Mio Viaggio In Italia was originally produced as a series for Italian television and given a special screening at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival; Scorsese announced at the time that he planned a companion film that would follow his interest in Italian cinema up to the present, investigating a number of lesser-known filmmakers.
		The surprise of discovering plot, character and all the rest has been taken away from me. While I have renewed admiration for Scorsese as a critic and director, I still wish that I had not seen this film.

		If VOYAGE reminds people of the art and importance of film, then it is of course a good thing.

		It has been said that not a great deal happens in this film and those that say this are mostly correct – but they are not being critical of this fact, merely stating it.
		The basic plot is: couple comes to Italy with marriage problems and, in between fights, travel around the area – and that's about it in terms of definable action.
		However to simply leave it at that is to do this film a great injustice because so much of it is about more than just what is happening at any given moment and it is actually a beautifully shot and moving story of love within marriage.

		By At the end of "My Voyage to Italy" (Il mio viaggio in Italia), Martin Scorsese says that his intention has been to express his love for Italian cinema and to get young people interested in these classic films, not as boring "film history," but through hearing someone recommend them with enthusiasm.
		Despite the terrible viewing conditions and cut prints, the magic and emotion of postwar Italian movies came across to him as it did to his grandparents, immigrants who recognized the old country in neorealist films.
		These movies, directly portraying the reality of postwar Italy, were at the opposite extreme from another genre he loved as a boy, Hollywood Westerns, with their simple stories and unreal fantasy.
