Mamma Roma - New 35mm Print
(Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy, 1962, 35mm, 105 min) Perhaps Pasolini's greatest film, Mamma Roma packs an emotional wallop. Anna Magnani's Mamma is a prostitute who tries to go respectable, bundling her troubled teenaged son off to Rome to tend a produce stand. The return of her pimp thwarts her new life. In stone ruins and suburban housing projects, Pasolini finds a combination of the seamy and the lyric, the ugly and the classical, rough trade tempered by raw beauty. His dreamlike edits open neorealism to a transcendent modernity, though the film sears with reality. Raucously funny, woundingly moving, by turns exhilarating and heartbreaking, Mamma Roma is a must-see.
