Descrizione
At the wedding of her pimp, Carmine (Franco Citti), Mamma Ro' (Anna Magnani) announces her retirement from prostitution. She first returns to her poverty-stricken native village to reclaim her estranged son Ettore (Ettore Garofalo) and then moves into a newly constructed apartment complex in Rome. Mamma's tragicomic attempts to create a new life for herself meet with a variety of obstacles: her struggle to pay her bills, the return of Carmine into her life, Ettore s listlessness and his friendship with lowlifes and vagabonds. Set among Rome's borgate, a counter-culture of the city's lower depths, Mamma Roma depicts the social impact of emerging middle-class values in its ironic story of a mother's love for her child.
Pier Paolo Pasolini's iconoclastic vision renders the world of the borgate - a world of criminals, prostitutes and pimps - with the sacred elegance of religious paintings by Renaissance masters. This seeming lack of judgment towards society s reprobates made his work deeply controversial. Equally subversive is the casting of Oscar winning actress Anna Magnani. An Italian national treasure, her brilliant performance endows her character with the mythic dimension inherent in the name Mamma Roma.
Sinossi
Mamma Roma è una prostituta che sospende la sua attività a seguito del matrimonio del protettore Carmine con una contadina. La donna chiama presso di sé il figlio Ettore che, nella sua scontrosa psicologia di adolescente, considera la madre un'estranea e che ben presto ha le prime esperienze sessuali con una ragazza assai smaliziata. Mamma Roma, dal suo canto, ha una rivendita ben avviata al mercato rionale e desidera per Ettore un avvenire migliore. Pertanto incarica una prostituta di conquistare i favori del figlio ed organizza un ricatto per procacciare un impiego ad Ettore. Ma Carmine spinge di nuovo sul marciapiede la donna con la minaccia di rivelare al ragazzo tutta la verità. Ettore, che ha lasciato il lavoro e si dedica a piccoli furti, ha per suo conto scoperto la verità sul triste mestiere della madre. Arrestato per furto, muore in carcere per una fulminea malattia. Mamma Roma resta disperata e sola.

Mamma Roma is an Italian film about a mother and her son. The story starts out at a wedding, where Mamma Roma is there to haunt her ex-husband and his new bride. Momma Roma is a loud woman that is often on the crude side. She brings three pigs and tells the guests the in-laws have finally arrived. Mamma makes many jabs and jokes about the couple, and we soon see she had a son with this man, who witnesses this entire spectacle even if he doesn't fully understand it.
The story resumes when her son Ettore is now a teenager and Mamma Roma wants to give him a chance to get away from the country life to live with her in Rome. Ettore is set in his ways by this point, so it isn't easy to mold him into something else. Although Ettore walks like a tough guy and is always giving some cold looks to those he meets, he is naive and inexperienced, and his mother knows this.
There are a couple scenes that approach having a surrealistic feeling where Mamma Roma is walking at night. There are many lampposts in the background that give off their light, and as Mamma Roma walks, there always seems to be more of the same lights everywhere. She talks to someone next to her and as one person leaves, another comes. But as the lights in the background still look more or less the same, it seems she hardly went anywhere at all. It makes an interesting backdrop as Momma tells her life story to people on the street.
Mamma Roma is haunted by her past; she was a prostitute and her reputation still follows her. Roma takes many steps to better her life and she wants the same for her son, but shaking free of the past isn't easy. Ironically, Ettore is attracted to a young woman that has the reputation of sleeping with the entire city. Mamma Roma is a mother that means well and really wants the best for her son, but it is an uphill battle. Most of the story is unpredictable, so there are some surprises in story for us as we learn about Mamma Roma.

Non si può parlare di Mamma Roma senza sembrare banali o retorici. Probabilmente il miglior film (sicuramente l'epitaffio) del neorealismo italiano. Dopo il quasi capolavoro "Accattone" Pasolini firma la pellicola della vita. Impossibile fare meglio. Più crudo di Tarantino. Più spietato di Siegel. Più scorretto di Bunuel. Più "epico" di Vidor, Ford e Wyler messi insieme. Con una Magnani ineguagliabile in un ruolo che per qualunque altra attrice sarebbe valsa un'intera carriera. Questa versione Medusa in dvd è tuttora la migliore stampa in circolazione, nella speranza che i soliti imbecilli non la deturpino in blu ray (non ne abbiamo bisogno, grazie!)
