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…

A gorgeous, magnificent piece of cinema which shows off 1950s Italy in the context of the fragile marriage of Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders - one of my favourites of his roles, and a fine one of many of hers.

In just eighty minutes we watch as this couple travel around (not 'to') Italy, where her memories of a lost love tap against the pain of her husband's thoughtless wandering eye. This would be a good companion piece to this year's '45 Years' which also deals with old memories and failing companionship.

Roberto Rossellini's film looks and sounds gorgeous, and presents a romantic, yet dangerous and unpredictable Italy in which Bergman's tourist amongst the ruins and hot springs keeps her…

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…

- Going in to the film, I didn't realize it was going to be mainly english speaking. I expected it to be an Italian speaking film. So this is the first english speaking Rossellini film I have seen. And it didn't disappoint.
- This makes sense because the film follows a foreign husband and wife navigating the landscapes and history of beautiful Italy. It's a fresh perspective to see Italy through the eyes of an outsider. Why? Because it brings a sense of sincere curiosity and innocence that can only be conveyed by an outsider.
- I also didn't expect this film to be a romance. I love romances by the way. Especially the old romances. Which have good morals…
