Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The resulting collaboration produced a series of films that are works of both sociopolitical concern and metaphysical melodrama. Stromboli, Europe '51, and Journey to Italy are intensely personal portraits that reveal the director at his most emotional and the glamorous actor at her most anguished, and that capture them and the world around them in transition.

Issued as part of 3-film set with Stromboli and Journey to Italy : 3 films by Roberto Rossellini starring Ingrid Bergman.

Originally produced as a motion picture in 1952.

Special features: Disc 1: New 2K digital restoration of the English-language version; Introduction by Roberto Rossellini; Adriano Aprà (new interview with film critic Adriano Aprà); Ingrid and Isabella Rossellini (new interview with Rossellini and actress Ingrid Bergman's daughters, Ingrid Rossellini and Isabella Rossellini); My dad is 100 years old (a 2005 short film directed by Guy Maddin and starring Isabella Rossellini). Disc 2: New high-definition digital restoration of the Italian-language version, Europa '51; Elena Dagrada version comparison (new interview with film historian Elena Dagrada on the different versions of the film); The chicken (a 1952 short film directed by Rossellini and starring Berman); G. Fiorella Mariani interview (new interview with G. Fiorella Mariani, Rosellini's niece, featuring Bergman's home movies); New English subtitle translation.
