Journey to Italy (Italian: Viaggio in Italia) is a 1954 Italian drama film directed by Roberto Rossellini and starring his wife Ingrid Bergman. It was filmed in English. The Italian version was originally cut.

[edit] Plot

The Joyces, played by Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders, are a British couple that have gone on a trip to Italy. Upon their arrival in Naples, they suffer a crisis in their relationship. The feelings between them change even more on a visit to the city of Pompeii, where they witness an ancient statue being discovered.

[edit] Reception

Although it performed badly at the box office, French critics at the Cahiers du Cinéma, including François Truffaut, liked it and proclaimed it to be the first modern film.

Martin Scorsese talks about the film and his impressions of it in his film My Voyage to Italy.
