Journey to Italy 1954 123movies

Watch: Viaggio in Italia 1954 123movies, Full Movie Online – Married for eight years with no children, Brits Katherine and Alex Joyce are driving to Italy, their ultimate destination just outside of Naples to sell the villa they have just inherited from his uncle, the villa where they will be staying during their time there. On the drive, they come to the realization that this trip marks the first time that they have truly been alone together, and as such don’t really know one another in the true sense. While in Italy, they end up mainly embarking on pursuits separate from each other – Katherine preferring the cultural, Alex preferring “company” including with some acquaintances they didn’t know were in Naples until running into them on their first night in the city – and on the few occasions when they do spend time together, there is a tension and an underlying increasing want on both sides to hurt the other emotionally in their individual beliefs of what the other is thinking or has done in their time apart. As their marriage slowly falls apart, the question becomes if there is any way to salvage it if they truly do want to continue to be Mr. and Mrs. Joyce..
Plot: This deceptively simple tale of a bored English couple travelling to Italy to find a buyer for a house inherited from an uncle is transformed by Roberto Rossellini into a passionate story of cruelty and cynicism as their marriage disintegrates around them.

Mildly engaging
(Spoilers) This is the story of an upper class English couple (Alexander and Katherine) traveling to Italy to settle up the sale of a villa that Alex had inherited from an uncle. From the fist scenes on we see the friction in the marriage–the fact that they take separate bedrooms is not a good sign. When either of the two hints that there may be some spark left to their marriage, the other quashes it with a contrary act or comment. When Alex suggests that they have never really known each other and perhaps they can start over, Katherine says, “Let’s go down to the bar.” During an argument, Alex haughtily tells Katherine that, “Of course there are a few things I don’t like about you. Your lack of a sense of humor, your ridiculous romanticism.” Each plays to the jealousy of the other throughout the movie.

I did not feel that the actors were challenged to play beyond their comfort zone. Sanders can play a somewhat cynical, upper class Englishman without breaking a sweat and Bergman, while good, turns in a performance that is not particularly noteworthy, although just having her on screen is a plus. The dialog is quite stilted–in fact I thought the film had been dubbed into English until I did some lip reading to determine otherwise.

The movie offers a bit of a travelogue for Naples and the surrounding area. Those scenes are captured during Katherine’s solo sightseeing trips after Alex had gotten disgusted and headed off to Capri to stay with some friends. The urban scenes that Katherine sees as she drives to various attractions are the most artificially inserted I have seen. It is clear that Katherine is being filmed in a studio, and then some stock footage is being shown of street scenes. The filming at tourist highlights were the most enjoyable parts of the movie for me. Those scenes would have been much better in color–I am sure that the Naples harbor looking toward Capri must be spectacular, but it’s rather unimpressive as seen here.

The ending is about as preposterous as I have seen. After all of the antagonism between Alex and Katherine, less that a minute after Katherine emphatically says to Alex, “I despise you,” the two are embracing and saying, “I love you.”

This movie has been praised as a masterpiece and as the first modern movie. Those who think it is a masterpiece were certainly plugged in to this at a higher level than I. And is “Citizen Kane” not a modern movie? Or De Sicas’s “Shoeshine” or “Bicycle Thief” for that matter?
