Beginning in New York's Little Italy when Scorsese was just a child, he recalls watching classic films with his family. From there, Scorsese revisits a list of his favorites, revealing hints of his influences, tastes, and true filmic loves. All the while he offers commentary on Italian classics (from directors Federico Fellini, Roberto Rossellini, Michaelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, and others) and on forgotten greats from less popular directors.

Reviews for My Voyage to Italy
Along with providing perceptive insights, Scorsese speaks about the personal influences Italian films have had on him throughout his life, making this Voyage particularly fascinating.
Scorsese's documentary becomes less a clip show and more a private diary about exploring his Italian heritage and widening our horizons through world film.
Scorsese's exuberance as a die-hard movie buff is, as always, positively infectious.
From the neo-realism of De Sica to the circus surrealism of Fellini to the glacially paced whatever-ism of Antonioni -- it's all here.
A thrilling trip through six decades of seminal, great and near-great Italian films so dear to the celebrated Sicilian-American filmmaker.
If you consider yourself a film buff, you owe it to yourself to check out this work of art.
Firmly establishes the brilliant filmmaker as invaluable an educator as he is a director.
I hope that every movie addict out there drags one unsuspecting friend to this documentary on Italian cinema, lovingly narrated by Martin Scorsese.
All film epochs in other cultures should be so lucky to receive such a celebration.
Its passion is contagious enough to allow you to ignore the film's omissions.
Well worth the time, but bringing along a thermos of espresso isn't a bad idea either.
If you have any interest in classic Italian films, you’ll be in heaven.
Directed, co- written and narrated by Scorsese, it's a deeply personal love letter to Italian cinema -- to his family, to the power of film to illuminate and change our lives.
Voyage, like 8 1/2 to Fellini, is Scorsese's pure expression of love for a constantly evolving cinema.
