Mamma Roma

Mamma Roma is a 1962 drama film written and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini and starring Anna Magnani.

The lingering shots of Ettore, strapped to a prison bed in his underwear are seductive and haunting, as are shots of Mamma Roma walking at night, joined by different men in conversation, one after another in one continuous shot.Pier Paolo Pasolini said that he wasnt able to rebirth Anna Magnani as she was in Roma, citt aperta because, as an actor, she chose to maintain her independence from his artistic visions. If I had to shoot the film over, I would have still chosen her, said Pasolini later. ........
