Journey To Italy - dvd

A typically reserved British couple, Alexander and Katherine Joyce have travelled from England to Naples to await the sale of a property they have inherited. Dissatisifed in their marriage and unfamiliar with the rites and habits of the Neapolitans, the strains of this unfamiliar environment tell wearingly on their relationship. In refuge, Katherine immerses herself in tourism, while Alex removes himself, searching for a way to fulfil his dissipating desires amongst the playthings of Capri. Starring Hollywood idols George Sanders and Ingrid Bergman, Roberto Rossellini's Journey to Italy was hailed as revolutionary by the French New Wave on its release, and is regarded today among the landmarks of 20th century cinema.
