Scorsese's exuberance as a die-hard movie buff is, as always, positively infectious.

Scorsese's documentary becomes less a clip show and more a private diary about exploring his Italian heritage and widening our horizons through world film.

Directed, co- written and narrated by Scorsese, it's a deeply personal love letter to Italian cinema -- to his family, to the power of film to illuminate and change our lives.

Along with providing perceptive insights, Scorsese speaks about the personal influences Italian films have had on him throughout his life, making this Voyage particularly fascinating.

Its passion is contagious enough to allow you to ignore the film's omissions.

A thrilling trip through six decades of seminal, great and near-great Italian films so dear to the celebrated Sicilian-American filmmaker.

All film epochs in other cultures should be so lucky to receive such a celebration.

Firmly establishes the brilliant filmmaker as invaluable an educator as he is a director.

Voyage, like 8 1/2 to Fellini, is Scorsese's pure expression of love for a constantly evolving cinema.
