Anna Magnini in Pasolini's Mamma Roma

Mamma Roma (1962)

The marvelous Anna Magnani stars in this Pasolini masterpiece — and revival arthouse favorite — about a middle-aged former prostitute trying to provide a better life for her teenage son. Originally banned in Italy for obscenity, it's Italian neorealism at its best with elements of tragic opera.
