Excellent character study of a couple that has lived themselves apart in the 1950s.

The plot treads similar ground as Dodsworth, but wasn't as compelling or emotional for me. Indeed, it was a bit dreary, as the cruelties pile up without a sense of growth or meaning derived by the characters. I haven't been enjoying these Rossellini films recently.

The original title of the film is Viaggio in Italia.

One supposes that insipid modern art is a tautology.
