As befits a filmmaker who defined as well as challenged the definition of Italian neorealism, Voyage to Italy unfolds as a thorny narrative and a profoundly personal documentary.

Roberto Rossellini introduces Katherine and Alexander Joyce, a bored English couple travelling to Italy to sell a house inherited from an uncle.

As they become increasingly cruel and cynical towards each other, the Joyces must decide if they can salvage their relationship.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
In its time, this film represented the arrival of something new, and even now it can feel like a bulletin from the future.
Voyage to Italy is the kind of movie that makes those unhappily in love feel understood. And even if that’s not you (congratulations), it’s still possible to groove on Rossellini’s stranger-in-a-strange-land psychodrama.
Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
Voyage to Italy is close to watching actual strangers suffer loneliness despite being together. It can leave an aching bruise, but only if you're paying attention.
