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.

Scorsese's exuberance as a die-hard movie buff is, as always, positively infectious.

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.

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.

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.

Its passion is contagious enough to allow you to ignore the film's omissions.

Leave it to Martin Scorsese to make a four-hour documentary on Italian cinema that doesn't feel like a glorified on-screen film studies course.

A thrilling trip through six decades of seminal, great and near-great Italian films so dear to the celebrated Sicilian-American filmmaker.

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.

Well worth the time, but bringing along a thermos of espresso isn't a bad idea either.
