Voyage to Italy
(Viaggio in Italia)

Screening on Film
Directed by Roberto Rossellini.
With Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders.
Italy, 1953, 35mm, black & white, 100 min.

Tensions pile up in Rossellini’s deeply moving and beautifully nuanced story starring Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders as a frustrated and bored British couple struggling to keep their marriage alive while visiting Naples. The film resembles a diary as it meditates on the problems of the jaded communication between the spouses. Rossellini stated that "it was very important for me to show Italy, Naples and that strange atmosphere in which is found a very real, very immediate feeling: the feeling of eternal life, something that has entirely disappeared from the world."
