Voyage In Italy
Voyage In Italy follows an English couple taking a vacation in Italy. They don't speak the language, don't understand the culture, and have a typical tourist attitude. They want to see the interesting sights, but stay in their own comfort zone the whole time.
During the trip, you see the characters' marriage falling apart. We see no love and no chemistry between them, and they're constantly critical of each other's faults and defensive about their own. As they handle the affairs of her uncle's estate and travel around the country, they constantly bicker, and the shots let us see things about Italy even if they're not what the ignore characters are paying attention to. The film can be a bit boring to get through, but it all comes together to a nice payoff at the end.
Rating: *** / 5
83/100
I think I won't watch On The Waterfront. I switched it out for L'age Dor, which it replaced in the last TSPDT update, because I really didn't feel like watching it again, especially now that I've discovered a whole lot of other directors I need to explore more deeply.
Next: Rear Window, Amarcord, The Godfather Part II, L'aventura
