Beginning in New York's Little Italy when Scorsese was just a child, he recalls watching classic films with his family. From there, Scorsese revisits a list of his favorites, revealing hints of his influences, tastes, and true filmic loves. All the while he offers commentary on Italian classics (from directors Federico Fellini, Roberto Rossellini, Michaelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, and others) and on forgotten greats from less popular directors.

  • My Voyage To Italy
  • One of the most acclaimed directors of our time, Academy Award(R) nominee Martin Scorsese (GANGS OF NEW YORK, 2002; GOOD FELLAS, 1990; THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, 1988; RAGING BULL, 1980), directs and narrates this remarkable in-depth look at the careers of great Italian filmmakers and their art's profound influence on him. With MY VOYAGE TO ITALY, Scorsese takes the viewer on a fascinating journey highlighting the classics of Italian cinema, from the neo-realism of post-war Italy through its transition into opulent period drama and surrealist fantasy. Illuminated by insightful movie clips and his own impassioned commentary -- Scorsese's deeply personal observations offer not only an absorbing lesson in the history of Italian film, but trace its direct connection to the best in contemporary filmmaking as well. As inspiring as it is richly detailed, you'll never look at movies the same way again once you've experienced this landmark documentary!

    My Voyage to Italy is a good survey of the height of Italian cinema by someone who truly loves these films. Beware of spoilers if you're unfamiliar with the genre.

    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.
