Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle Directed, co- written and narrated by Scorsese, it's a deeply personal love letter to Italian cinema -- to his family, to the power of film to illuminate and change our lives.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Bahad j There is no way not to praise each other's actors in this film. Really great acting. Of course, the main character was the best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Munkhjargal A this is another great movie. because this documentary about the relationship between Italy and America has become a wonderful film that is famous all over the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review william k Scorsese manages to present a both very personal and insightful history of Italian cinema, picking excellent singular films and scenes to delve more deeply into the art of these works and their relevance to cinema history in general. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an exceptional review of many of the most significant films in the early to mid-century history of Italian cinema. As such, they are also among the most important an influential films ever made, especially for European filmmakers. Scorsese is both an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide through these films, having seen most of them numerous times, and an ardent fan celebrating the movies that made such indelible impressions on him that he became a filmmaker himself. For me, the last third of this documentary/history lesson is by far the most interesting. Here, we get the masterworks of Fellini and Antonioni; for me, the two greatest directors Italy has given us. And above all others, its Scorsese's thoughts on 8 1/2 and the images he chose from that most brilliant and visionary of Italian films. 4.2 stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member random choice of the day, Marty's distcinive voice and its signature passion guides us thru his love of Italian cinema...a must see for fans of Scorsese and film in general Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
