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.

Can't afford that course in Italian cinema being offered at New York University? Scorsese's My Voyage to Italy is just as good, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
