AT NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART
Part of A Celebration of Italian Art, Music and Film, jointly presented by the Italian Cultural Institute and the National Gallery of Art.
Journey to Italy (Viaggio in Italia, 1954), director Roberto Rossellini’s modernist breakthrough often compared to James Joyce’s writings or Michelangelo Antonioni’s films, has just been restored by L’Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna, in collaboration with CSC—Cineteca Nazionale, Rome. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders, an upper-class English couple trying to find a buyer for their villa near Naples, experience new anxieties in their marriage. Evoking the ancient southern Italian surroundings, Journey to Italy alludes to the power of this timeless place to transform and heal.
(Roberto Rossellini, 1954, DCP, 97 minutes)
