Married for eight years with no children, Brits Katherine and Alex Joyce are driving to Italy, their ultimate destination just outside of Naples to sell the villa they have just inherited from his uncle, the villa where they will be staying during their time there. On the drive, they come to the realization that this trip marks the first time that they have truly been alone together, and as such don't really know one another in the true sense.

    It’s a real journey (Scorsese even maintains it’s the first true road movie in the history of cinema) — and what a journey. From the “civilised” and wealthy North, where people behave, follow rules and present a certain dignity, to the “barbaric” and poorer South, where life is driven by passion, rooted traditions and fervent religious beliefs. It’s also the journey of an estranged couple weighed down by resentment, boredom and jealousy. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders interpret their roles with remarkable subtlety and emotional precision.
