JOURNEY TO ITALY (Italy) 97mins. Dir: Roberto Rossellini. Key cast: Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders. The Joyces are an English couple who have moved to Italy to sell a recently inherited property near Naples. There’s a coolness in their relationship and aspects of Naples add to the strain. She remembers a poet who loved her and died in the war; he idles on Capri, flirting with women but drawing back from adultery. This deceptively simple tale of a bored couple traveling to Italy is transformed by Roberto Rossellini into a passionate story of cruelty and cynicism as their marriage disintegrates around them.
