Journey to Italy
Journey to Italy
Among the most influential films of the postwar era, Roberto Rossellini’s Journey to Italy charts the declining marriage of a British couple (Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders) on a trip in the countryside near Naples. More than just an anatomy of a relationship, Rossellini’s masterpiece is a heartrending work of emotional transcendence and profound spirituality. Considered an ancestor of the existential works of Michelangelo Antonioni; hailed as a groundbreaking work of modernism by the critics of Cahiers du cinéma; and named by Martin Scorsese as one of his favorite films, Journey to Italy is a breathtaking cinematic landmark. Janus Films is proud to present a new, definitive restoration of the essential English-language version of the film, featuring Bergman and Sanders voicing their own dialogue.
The digital restoration of the English version of Journey to Italy was performed using the original negatives kept at the Cinecittà Digital Factory. The English opening credits were restored using a positive copy kept at the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique.
The image was scanned at a resolution of 2K. After scanning, the images were digitally stabilized and cleaned, removing signs of wear and tear accumulated over time: dots, lines, scratches and visible splices.
After transferring the sound, it was then possible to carry out a digital cleanup and eliminate background noise caused by wear and tear, whilst keeping the dynamics and the specific features of the original track.
The restoration was carried out by the Cineteca di Bologna at the L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2012.
