It was on the set of Stromboli that director Roberto Rossellini and star Ingrid Bergman, collaborating on their first film, fell in love. In these rarely seen 8 mm color home movies, shot with Bergman’s own camera, get a fascinating glimpse of the two of them at work and leisure. The footage also affords some revelatory, colorful glimpses of the blue waves and volcanic terrain of Stromboli, the island off the coast of Sicily where the film was shot.
3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman is out now on Blu-ray and DVD.
