    Good Doc on the impact of classic Italian cinema.

    Scorsese presents a fascinating documentary of his personal highlights of Italian cinema. Watching Scorsese talk about the first time he saw these films growing up in New York and the influence they have had on him is a joy. With the depth he goes into about these films and the a...( read more)mount of lengthy clips shown, you can feel his passion for these films and the eagerness he has to share them with today's generation of young film lovers.
    A new favourite of mine in the documentary genre, it's made me want to check out more work from the likes of Rossellini, Fellini and Antonioni.

    This is a four hour documentary in which Martin Scorsese discusses some of his favorite Italian films from the Neo-realist era to the mid sixties. This is meant as a spiritual sequel to A Personal Journey through American Cinema with Martin Scorsese. The format is interesting i...( read more)n that it allows a monolific lens, he?s not declaring that these are the definitive cannon, just that they are the movies that mean something to him. He focuses almost entirely on Rossalini, De sica, Visconti, Fellini, and Antonioni, which helps to keep the whole thing a little more focused than the earlier documentary. This is a good survey of the movies in question, but he does pretty much give away the entire film in his discussion, so it might be better for those who have already seen the movies and want some insight into their meanings.

    A classic cinema class from a true master.

    Scorsese portrays through this amazingly beautiful documentary, the films that have inspired his life, marked a period of his life for him and that really influenced his filmmaking style and have inspired him for life.

    Films of Rob...( read more)erto Rossellini, Vittorio de Sica, Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini, among others (La Terra Trema, I Vitelloni, 8 1/2, L' Avventura, La Dolce Vita, Ladri di biciclette, Umberto D., Roma Cittą Aperta, and countless others) are shown here, and the way Scorsese describes them, analyzes them and explains them really change our perspective and way of looking towards this type of beautiful cinema.

    A true gem, I didn't even feel those 4 hours running. Give this a watch, at least in two parts, and change the way you look at classic movies forever.

    82/100

    Longo demais. Na maioria dos filmes Scosese se limita a contar a sinpose da obra, o que torna o filme muito cansativo ao longo de suas mais de quatro horas

    I don't much recommend watching this if you ever plan to see the films under discussion. I watched the first half and if I'd not already seen BICYCLE THIEVES, UMBERTO D., and numerous others, I'd be plenty pissed. And yet the film isn't pitched at an audience that HAS seen them...( read more), rending it kind of pointless. I've thus far passed on watching the second half because I'm sure it will ruin something I haven't seen yet.

    Scorsese's tribute to Italian cinema. 4 hours of clips from classic Italian movies. A perfect companion piece to the also excellent A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies.
