An insightful retrospective about italian movies related to the neo-realism period. Martin Scorseses shows his own point of view about the italian films who had inspired him and his work. In a few words we can describe his work on this doc: learning about true cinema.

Saw this on TV a few years ago. A really insightful look into Scorsese's mindset.

As a follow up to his essay on American Movies this is pretty darn good and it will amke you seek out the lesser known films

I kind of wish he included Bertolucci and Pasolini, but I'm not sure if they influenced him as much as the rest.

Loved it. Although any respect for spoilers is pretty non-existent (shows the last scenes of Germany Year Zero, Rome Open City, Umberto D, etc of which I haven't seen). I think i'll try and watch all of the US films featured before watching the American films doc. But yeah, Scorsese is fascinating. He talks like he's speaks hushed in a theater, maybe he is.

I saw "8 1/2," "Senso," "Umberto D," "La Terra Trema," and eventually "The Leopard" because of this film. No one talks about film more entertainingly than Scorsese, and it makes the 4 hour run-time of this film go all too quickly.

Sometimes I need to understand the history of a film before I see it, and this doc does a very good job of introducing Italian cinema- which I never felt particularly close to. Scorsese makes for an excellent narrator too; I really want to adopt him as my granddad.

Excellent follow up to the American movies doc The rumour is he will tackle British films in a doc much like this one
