But to Italian cinema fans, he’s kind of a big deal. Languages: Italian, English, Spanish Run time: 107m 71% Rotten Tomatoesįirst up, if you’re not a film fan then you’d be more likely to recognise director Roberto Rossellini’s wife (actress Ingrid Bergman) or famous daughter (Isabella Rossellini). So let’s dive into my list of great films set in Sicily that I have no doubt will inspire you to visit… Top Films set in Sicily © 1961 Titanus © 2015 20th Century Fox 1. And yes, there is at least one film on this list you will have heard about before and probably watched several times. But luckily, I can watch these amazing, travel-inspiring films set in Sicily before I get the chance to visit again. I visited Sicily in September for less than a week. Sicily is, unfortunately, known for its history with The Mafia, for being one of the more deprived regions of Italy, economically speaking, and for its rugged islands and landscapes like Mount Etna and the lush farmland. And I think the films set in Sicily, especially those on my list, prove that Sicily has its own unique cinematic charm very separate from the mainland. The indifferent Uncle who reluctantly shows up, unannounced, on Christmas day but inevitably slinks away, back doing their own thing, not caring what the other regions think.
Sicily seems a bit like the black sheep of the Italy family. Not only has Sicily birthed some of Italy’s best filmmakers, but Sicilian cinema also showcases how beautiful, epic and diverse the region is. And that includes the films set in Sicily. Please read the disclaimer here.Įvery film fan knows how awesome Italy’s film industry is for innovating, life-affirming and thoroughly entertaining works of cinema.
