Director Martin Scorsese looks at the importance of three films by Italian director Roberto Rossellini, all starring Rossellini's then-wife Ingrid Bergman.
In the late 40s, Ingrid Bergman was the coolest, hottest, and most talented lady around Hollywood. She saw some Italian neo-realist films by Roberto Rossellini, wrote him a letter, starred in a number of his movies, and proceeded to have a scandalous affair and marriage with him. In each film, Bergman experiences some sort of deep existential crises in the midst of political and social upheaval. Since every major player who worked on those films is dead, Martin Scorsese (who was heavily influenced by the films) gives us the 4-1-1 on the three movies in this short doc and it’s fucking fascinating.

I don't know how necessary it is, but I would love it if Vice made a separate channel which is dedicated to the artistic side of cinema full of videos just like this one.
It's not by Vice, but it's called the Criterion Collection. They make videos like this all of the time.
If you're like me and immediately want to watch the films Scorsese mentions in this here is a list:
1. Rome Open City (1945) - Dir. Robert Rossellini
2. Paisan (1946) - Dir. Robert Rossellini
3. Bicycle Thieves (1948) - Dir. Vittorio De Sica
4. Stromboli (1950) - Dir. Robert Rossellini
5. Europe '51 (1952) - Dir. Robert Rossellini
6. Journey to Italy (1954) - Dir. Robert Rossellini
7. The Song of Bernadette (1943) - Dir. Henry King
8. The Keys of the Kingdom (1944) - Dir. John M. Stahl
9. Two for the Road (1967) - Dir. Stanley Donen
10. Thelma & Louis (1991) - Dir. Ridley Scott
Enjoy.
Bicycle Thief (Ladri di Biciclette) is one of my favourite films. I would also highly recommend La Strada (Federico Fellini).
I've watched half of those, brilliant indeed.
Martin Scorsese is not just a genius director but also a film History scholar with a prodigious memory. I love all the ideas he points in this interview, like 'Journey to Italy' being the first road movie. Brilliant guy, I could listen to him for hours...
Yes I feel the same way about him.... I could just listen to him talk and talk and talk because he's just so fascinating and he notices everything
For anyone who hasn't already seen Scorsese's 'My Voyage to Italy' documentary it is well worth the watch (particularly if you want to know more about Italian neo-realism), as is 'A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies.'
Scorsese is a living legend
These are the type of videos I love to see by Vice, well done.
how did you comment 2 days ago when they posted the vid 15 mins ago?
NoPicture lel
What the hell the video is hours old and the comment is days old. Wtf

Fun fact, Scorsese was married to Rosselini's daughter from 1979-1982.
Fun fact she has a name, Isabella Rosselini, and she's a wonderful actress herself, especially in Blue Velvet - she also dated Lynch at that time
Ingrid Bergman was also her mother
@@s.a.l.1974 Her more beautiful mother.
The Flowers of St. Francis is one of my 13 all time favorite films.
I love VICE. You guys should seriously consider making other channels based on different matters. Cinema, Conflict, Music, and or whatever. Or just release stuff like this more often because it's nice to see these legends. :)
It's too bad Roberto Rossellini died before Martin Scorsese married his daughter, Isabella Rossellini. Maybe they could have met; two great directors.
Hi
@paul w hi asshole
At least he got to meet Fellini.
But I can't even find much about when Scorsese was married to Isabella Rossellini ... but I would like to know more about when they were married
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 for him to meet Fellini must have been probably one of the greatest days of his life
He had a massive cocaine addiction problem in the 70s. Raging bull was supposed to be his final film
But what do you mean it was supposed to be his final film... are you saying the big studios in the producers were going to ditch him if he didn't stop doing cocaine..... I just wish you would explain more because I'm not sure I follow what you're saying
@gardensofthegods Scorsese was at a low point of his personal life in 1980, he had just divorces his wife, his last film, New York New York, bombed at the box office and was a critical disappointment, and at the top of it all, he was fighting his cocaine addiction. At that point Scorsese said that he didn't want to make any more films, so Robert De Niro convinced him to make Raging Bull, and after that film was a success, he started making films non stop again.
Rossellini is the greatest director of all time, for anyone who has only seen his neorealist films and loved them I encourage you to check out all of his filmography, and not just the films marty talks about here but also his later films, especially the historical epics he made for tv (best ones are acts of the apostles and Age of the Medici) nobody has ever made films like these
In total agreement.
In 1973, the Filmoteca of Madrid paid an extraordinary week-long tribute to Rossellini which covered both his screen work as well as his projects for Italian and French television.
Impossible to figure out which his best was other than the known classics, but 'The Rise to Power of Louis XIV' indeed was an unexpected and remarkable revelation.
First Nolan, now Scorsese. Awesome! Please do Soderbergh next
No Michael Bay next. Lol I wanna hear him talk about pyrotechnics
Scorsese is one of the best inspirations for all upcoming filmmakers
such a golden interview
this series is awesome. keep em coming.
GREAT VIDEO 🖤
Rossellini: best director ever!
far from that
the greatest
🤨
Watching his films, I'm blown away by his crowd control, which, you could say the same of people like Spielberg or Hitchcock. But while the latters had extras and filmed in sound stages, not to demerit their talents, but Rossellini filmed on the streets, filming the locals being themselves, with no control of what they were doing, and still, they never look at the camera, they're part of the worlds that Rossellini is trying to potray on screen.
Although I'm not a fan of most of his work (Taxi Driver is one of the best movies ever made though) his encycplopedic knowledge of cinema is really impressive.
These films(italy,japan,Britain)opened my eyes up before vcer>disc)
His watch is stunning, 7:11 for the still shot.
What I wonder is why is the Vice watermark on top of a video made by the Criterion team? I realize the title says Conversations Inside The Criterion Collection, but it isn't clear who made the interview. The trick seems to have worked, with many viewers trusting that it is the Vice team who made it. It's great that they share these insightful and fascinating interviews but give to Caesar what is of Caesar's.
+Alonso Díaz de la Vega I was about to say something similar - I'm not able to check right now, but I'm sure this is from a Criterion Blu-ray or DVD I own.
Ive only seen Rome Open City and plan on watching Paisan soon
Why does Martin Scorsese Look like the old guy from "Up"
What does one buy first. War Trilogy or Ingrid Trilogy?
Thank you.
This is the stuff I like to see, not some idiot scooter gangs... well done Vice!
very nice film interview, i like
I always wondered, how many movies Scorsese had watch (and remember the scene in em) in his entire life..?
He is the great director of cinema
I did not know the Continental skits on SNL were a reference to something.
Did you guys just buy this video off some other company? I saw this interview with him in clips from some other person like months ago.
He looks like the old guy from UP!
all. I can say is WOW, , are Wonderful films.
sad fact: Michael Bay has more films in the Criterion Collection than Scorsese
What Bay movie is on Criterion?
Infametheus Armageddon and The Rock
Scorsese doesn't really need restorations his films are already licensed by big studios who take interest in making them available in the best possible quality
Not anymore. The Rock and Armageddon are out of print while Scorsese now holds 5 releases on Criterio.
Weird how every comment in this thread is about Scorsese and none is about the films he's talking about.
Yes. It is the tendency toward the cult of personality.
The same would be true if the comments were indeed about the films. They would be about Bergman (see below) and not the character she attempts to embody.

I saw that movie
Scorsese born 1942 nov 17,
De Niro born 1942 aug 17. Interesting.
***** 2 film legends born 2 mths apart, i think its neat. thats all. I was born nov 17th 1990. :)
***** All three of us are scorpios and i am Italian as well. Both my parents were born in Italy :)
Actually, De Niro was born on Aug 17 1943.
does he dye his eyebrows?
My god her beauty
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢bellisissimo
If you look at Martin in this, obviously he's filmed on digital. It may be high def, etc., but all over his face are these micro contrasts. They are not realistic, as one would experience him if they sat by him. Looks like sharpness has been added, and it's a mistake. Also the flesh tone is strangely pink. Look how perfect the interior shots of George and Ingrid are on film. Shooting digital requires real professionalism.
Is strange if you see the first Rossellini and De Sica Italian neorealistic movies without knowing why they were made, they (do not take me wrong) can appear almost boring, the budget of the first ones was limited, the stories are a kind of documentary, and the plot is not defined as a movie made with marketing purpose. But if you know the history behind the message and you see documentaries as this one, they appear then as masterworks. Is amazing how I could change idea seeing them from this new perspective of what neorealism wanted to achieve. Look up 100 italian movies to save on the internet and enjoy them. Changing perspective is what intelligent people should teach to their friends, encouraging to see movies like this ones, saying them the history behind, is almost as reading history books
So who's next? Ridley Scott? James Cameron?
Who's the next Godard, Bergman. Who is the next director that will completely change the face of cinema?
"Don't be afraid darling !It's just a men's apartment :)"
mmm yess tha moovies
as a 60 y.o still surfing ole HIPPIE these films were watched by my folks and me and well screened in the 70's 72-75 1st time college,
very well done and thanks for your fine insights Mr. Scorcese
soon my documentary will begin and it will part of MY Existentialist film to be done entirely in El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico called 'El Ostionero'
about to film taking this big ambulance back to Iztapa, it should be a blast
especially the instant we cross into Mexico,
then the surreal begins, jaaa

😅😂😂😂
damn, my like on this pushed it to 2K views
All im saying is Taxi Driver pt. 2
Scorsese even plays with the idea that Travis bickle died at the endn
After the war, the various occupying powers...U.S., British, French, Russians, distributed flyers telling people about rights and freedoms, including freedom of the press. Rossellini tells this story himself.
HEY VICE! Are you going to cancel Scorsese interviews? The view count's looking pretty low at two days old. The moped gangs video is already 50k + and its 8 hours old. Poor fucking Jim Norton, you CANCELLED IT FOR NO REASON. Who's in charge over there? Do you even care anymore?
Please mr scorsese i want to at least talk to you ill buy the breakfast and lunch and dinner whatever
Ef Scorsese and Ef Vice.
Then get the ef outta here
Bergman is the greatest female actress to date.
Uprated.
His cinematography was not stark. It was rich and bountiful.
aids
Grease ball..
What is this man talking about these films in black and white!!? Where is the man of Steele ,marvel comics or dc comics? There are no hobbits or wizard schools!! They made movies about god and spiritual issues with real stories! Is there another planet earth somewhere? The bizarro world where these directors existed? Shocking!
yeah, i agree man
He hasn't made a really good movie in nearly 25 years. Shutter Island nearly made me cry. In the worst possible way.
he made the departed which as released in 2006, casino released in 1995 and this year he made the wolf of wall street.
Good movies. Not great.
Silence (2016)
The Irishman (2019)
@@rogerkincaid931 Amazing film. His best since Goodfellas, unfortunately it's also his least seen film in that time.
He's Armenian
He's Italian.
