Liebe ist stärker (1954)

Liebe ist stärker: Directed by Roberto Rossellini. With Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, Maria Mauban, Anna Proclemer. An unhappily married couple attempts to find direction and insight while vacationing in Naples.

“u0026quot;Viaggio in Italiau0026quot; is a unique experience, a beautiful work of art, and perhaps Rosselliniu0026#39;s masterpiece, though I equally cherish GERMANY YEAR ZERO and FLOWERS OF ST. FRANCIS. It can best be viewed on the big screen in order to fully grasp its mysterious beauties. But, alas, it is not for every taste. The film was a commercial disaster when it opened. But those perceptive u0026quot;Cahiers du Cinemau0026quot; critics – Godard, Rivette, Rohmer, Truffaut – justly hailed it as a modern masterpiece and placed in their list of ten best films of all time. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders are nothing short of brilliant as the feuding British couple who travel to Naples to close their holiday home. Rosselliniu0026#39;s breathtaking documentary scenes in the Mediterranean background are perfectly melded with the fictional story of the couple and their state of mind. It all comes down to that final miraculous moment that no written words can describe. Subtle, mysterious and beautiful, u0026quot;Viaggiou0026quot; ranks with the finest works in cinema.”
