I'm a little bit conflicted on Scorese's 4 hour Italian Cinema tribute / introduction piece, My Voyage to Italy from 1999. On one hand this is an absolutely absorbing and quite frankly entertaining watch that makes that 4 hour runtime seem extremely short thanks to Scorese's tight and precise handling of each films he's talking about. It never goes on for way too long but not way to short either for some parts and the insightfulness of each segment make it extremely fascinating but most importantly it is Scorese's clear and heartfelt love for Italian Cinema that can be heard in his tender and reminiscent tone of his voice that really warms something inside you and make you equally fall in love with the films he's talking about as much as he is already in love with them. My main problem or wonderings with My Voyage to Italy however is who is this intended for? Despite being a introductionary piece Scorese does spoil a lot of the films he's talking about and it's like well if you are introducing it to me wouldn't you want to keep quiet about how it ends but in pretty much every segment for each films it ends with how the film ends and although Scorese's interpretation, knowledge and love is insightful and even powerful at times it's just not a good way in my opinion to just spoil it out there unless of course this ain't a introductionary piece. Also I don't think that 4 hour runtime is going to do the film a favor as a again a introductionary piece, people who will watch this are either watching it because they are already in love with Italian cinema and world cinema or they just want to see more Scorsese which that crowd should already be familiar with these types of films anyway so I don't really see people in the general public or younger people be really interested in this considering it's out of mainstream subject, the 4 hour length and so on. Also speaking of the segments themselves I overall find the presentation a bit annoying at times, 40% of it is Scorese's narration and commenting and talking about the film which is great while the rest 60% is the film clips, talking and walking about. The pacing of it is a bit unsatisfying, I just wish theres more Scorsese talking instead of just the film clips playing by themselves. Overall though it's a nice watch especially when Scorsese talks about Fellini or his past childhood. If you ain't slightly interested in Italian cinema or Scorsese for that matter definitely stay away from this but if you are already in love with Italian cinema and have already seen all of the films on here (again spoilers) and want some great insights definitely give this a shot. Scorsese's presence alone make it worth a watch.

Hvis nu bare Martin Scorsese ville lave en film over alle Eva Jørholts andre forelæsninger, så ville det bare være super nice.
