Dominican Rep. Mamma Roma
3,804
Drama
In Pier Paolo Pasolini's beautiful drama, Mamma Roma (Anna Magnani) is an ex-prostitute who tries to leave behind her past and make a life for her and her son but her evil pimp stands in her way. Dubbed obscene by contemporary critics, this breakthrough film for Pasolini was never seen in the United States until 33 years after its premiere.

"Anna Magnani executed one of the great roles of her career (...) it’s some heavy-handed and portentous symbolism" | POS |
