This deceptively simple tale of a bored English couple travelling to Italy to find a buyer for a house inherited from an uncle is transformed by Roberto Rossellini into a passionate story of cruelty and cynicism as their marriage disintegrates around them.

i really relate to ingrid bergman’s character in this movie because she’s constantly grumbling to herself about how she hates all men except this one dead poet she used to know.
I guess we're calling this "Journey to Italy" now? I always preferred "Voyage in Italy". It's not about their travel to Italy, but rather the travels, physical, emotional, spiritual, etc, they make while already in Italy. Weird that we haven't been able to come to a consensus on the title of what is obviously one of the best movies.

Journey to Italy is relatively simple, but the implications are cosmic. A disruption in geography causes a waning relationship to fully dismantle and then reassemble within the context of a shifting understanding of themselves as human beings. All it showcases is a couple on the rocks only to realize they are everything to each other, as much as they hate that idea. But Roberto Rossellini doesn't merely provide an existential core to the proceedings, but a metaphysical one as well. This is a film not just about what happens to us, the reality of life and death and love, but what we should contemplate or yearn to understand while we're here. Journey to Italy, above all else, seeks to…
Viaggio, Voyage, Journey - before the history films, travelogue is the key to Rossellini's cinema: Paisan, Stromboli, India, Viva Italia. In the first and last of these we get literal maps charting our progression from one story/location to another, and all films here mentioned here minus Stromboli are these progressions from South to North. This movie is no exception either. We have no maps in this film, and no wonder! The Joyces are very lost, trying to find hope in a place they don't understand, trapped in the prisms of their own beliefs - not till the end do both discover that the travelogue isn't physical, it is in their own hearts - their emotions must travel from south to…
Eric Rohmer: 'The Land of Miracles'
('La Terre du Miracle', Cahiers du Cinema 47, May 1955, written under his real name, Maurice Scherer)
The term 'neo-realism' has become so debased that I would hesitate to use it in relation to Viaggio in Italia if Rossellini hadn't in fact claimed it himself. He sees this film as embodying a 'neo-realism' that is purer and deeper than in any of his earlier films. At least that was his comment to one member of the audience at the Paris premiere. One can certainly talk about evolution in the work of the author of Rome, Open City. If it is true that the more recent films can only at a pinch be categorized along…
Even the natural beauty of Italy is nothing compared to the natural beauty of Ingrid Bergman
It's movies like Roberto Rossellini's Voyage in Italy that make me grateful to be alive—here, now, in this moment, communicating with you.
It's movies like Voyage in Italy that give me the crucial insight into the world I previously did not possess, but which I now realize I had the capability of possessing all along.
It's movies like Voyage in Italy that leave me staring in wide-eyed wonder at the power of the cinematic-photographic image to transcend space-time and reach me in the heart, where it counts.
It's movies like Voyage in Italy that understand the true essence of film: as a paradoxical medium of life and death, chronicling existence in the past, mummifying faces in the present, foretelling death…
STARRING: A MIRROR INTO THE SOUL OF INGRID BERGMAN
Well, I guess scratch what I said before. This one is the weakest entry in the Rossellini/Bergman collabs. And to some extent, I am very disappointed it didn’t. Apparently it’s the only one I’ve seen from all four, and the fact I only remembered it because of the poster and nothing else, well, I guess it's obvious it didn’t leave much of an impression on me.
Now, putting all that aside, the film does have some good things going for it. The cinematography is just stunning. The texture, the locations, the costume designs, and everything else are just beautiful. Bergman is even more radiant and stunning here, and she delivers the…
one thing you won’t find me doing is moping about being in napoli with ingrid bergman, but I guess I’m just built different
