My Voyage to Italy (1999)Il mio viaggio in Italia
In 'My Voyage to Italy' (Il Mio Viaggio In Italia), American master Martin Scorsese explores in detail, the legacy of the classic period of Italian cinema.

Classics such as The Bicycle Thief and 'La Dolce Vita' are discussed alongside rarer titles like 'Senso' and 'Europa '51' Scorsese's appreciation is rooted in his identity as an Italian-American film-maker.

Linking up with a fraudulent hustler from hellfire-and-brimstone preaching circuit - who pretends to be blind for the assembled believers - Motes is put under pressure by the fraudster to blind himself for real so that he can truly 'see the light'. A dark satire on religious movements that, beautifully acted by Dourif, Huston and William Hickey. - Director:
