Summary

Martin Scorsese directs and narrates this personal documentary about the careers of great Italian filmmakers and their profound influence on him. Scorsese takes the viewer on a journey highlighting the classics of Italian cinema, from the neorealism of postwar Italy through its transition into opulent period drama and surrealist fantasy. Illuminated by movie clips and his own commentary, Scorsese's observations offer not only a lesson in the history of Italian film, but its direct connection to the best in contemporary filmmaking as well.
