Sarfaraz A Roberto Rossellini cowrote and directed this Italian drama. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders co-starred. The film is supposed to be partially inspired on Colette's novel, Duo. The entire film's dialogue is in English, with locals speaking Italian. The film is generally hailed as one of Roberto Rossellini's greatest works. The plot revolves around an estranged English couple (Ingrid and George) who travel to Naples (Italy) to sell the luxurious villa bequeathed by George's uncle. Ingrid and George do not get along well, and when George decides to visit Capri, he allows Ingrid to enjoy museums and sightseeing. The film focuses on exploring ancient Roman civilization, excavations, Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, and some religious themes. The subject also addresses mistrust, jealousy, and suspicion. I primarily loved observing and learning about historical sites and artwork.

A black and white film that feels tinged with the warmth and colour of its location but the grim company of a fractious marriage. My problem with the film is singular but emphatic the acting of the protagonists is woeful and wildly unrealistic. How the wife could feel anything for the priggish obnoxious and crassly rude husband is beyond me. He needs a proper slapping. The turnaround in their relationship in the space of ten seconds is absurd. Rubbish film but beautiful location shots. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review joe m "Voyage to Italy" is the type of movie that's hard to describe. It's the story of an English couple (Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders) who come to Naples, Italy to sell her uncle's villa. It then is a slow burn of the troubles of their marriage and each one's isolation from the other. These are brought in to focus by being in the 'exotic' realm of southern Italy with its slow pace, different food, strange customs and a more spiritual, even pagan, life that accentuates their discontent. Very effective in that sense with good performance by both, yet especially by Bergman. Good or bad, it's the type of film that will stick in your mind long after being watched. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Really not quite sure what the appeal is here to be honest. I found the dialogue to be stunted, and the characters flat with unconvincing reactions to their predicaments. Perhaps this is seen as one of the first of its kind in terms of "personal" filmaking? Not sure, but there wasn't much here for me. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Great performances in this highly influencial film which combines classic melodrama with an intellectual touch.
