Journey To Italy

George Sanders and Ingrid Bergman play Alexander and Katherine Joyce, a bored married couple in Naples, waiting around for an inherited house to be sold. With time on their hands the cracks begin to show in their marriage. Rejecting Hollywood norms, Rossellini uses periods of pure cinematography, in this case of Naples and Mt Vesuvius, to illustrate the passage of time and moments of ennui. The director also deliberately kept the actors uninformed about the script and story, and with this enforced improvisation, he was able to bring out a realistic disorientation in their performances befitting the nature of the film. Interestingly, George Sanders had recently won an Oscar for ALL ABOUT EVE.

  Journey To Italy (1953)
  
  A very original movie about a marriage in trouble but I can’t say it drew me in - it seemed quite self conscious.
