Catherine and Alexander, a wealthy but unhappy British couple. The two of them drove to Naples to deal with a villa left by their deceased uncle. In Naples, their relationship was very cold and tired. Catherine recalls a poet who died in the war, whom he once loved deeply, but Catherine did not love him. Now this romantic memory is starting to affect her life. She toured the museums of Naples and Pompeii, and was inexplicably fascinated by the dead. Catherine began to notice how many women around her were pregnant. Alexander has nothing to do, flirting with other women occasionally, but that's all, he doesn't want anything else to happen. Their relationship seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but it held up like that. Their trip to Italy seems to have brought a different kind of scenery.
The film is the famous work of Robert Rossellini, the important director of Neorealism films. Starring Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman. In the context of World War II , the romance and desolation in a couple's heart are deduced. A carefree British couple whose love life is full of problems.

    Rossellini's trip to Naples, the sympathy between the personal ego and the historical space-time & macro environment. The relationship between husband and wife gradually estranged and broke down as the tour progressed. Group portraits of pregnant women, prams and couples as they drive on the streets of Naples, visit the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, and experience the "miracle" of Mount Vesuvius (a single cigarette or a single puff can cause widespread gas surges around you) overflowing, which also fits the motif of the connection between man and the universe), appreciate the catacombs, witness the excavation of bones in the ancient city of Pompeii, and encounter the frenzy of the street icon parade. The sudden reversal of the ending from the decisive separation to the embrace and confession is more unexpected, like a miracle, but I don't know how long it will last. The overall shooting is loose and ambiguous, with indifference, accident, and emotional volcanic eruption moments, which to a certain extent also foreshadows Antonioni's subsequent works. (8.5/10)

    Four and a half stars. Love the tone of this film. Mysticism + Realism. writer movies. Black and white landscape films can be a little unsatisfying, but they also have their own charm. CC 2K remastered version.
