Journey To Italy (1954)

Bergman collaborated on many films with Italian neo-realist filmmaker (and then-husband) Roberto Rossellini, Journey to Italy is one typical example. Alexander (George Sanders) and Katherine Joyce (Ingrid Bergman), a married English couple who share a passionless existence together, move to Naples after inheriting a property. They decide to spend the rest of the vacation separately because they are on the point of divorce and neither of them is warming to the other. Katherine explores museums and historical places, while Alexander relaxes with cocktails in Capri.

Due to its loose storytelling, Journey to Italy is often regarded as Rossellini's masterpiece as well as a foundational work of modernist cinema. It was named one of the fifty greatest films ever made by Sight & Sound magazine in 2012.
