Description
The Dante Society of Westerly and the United Theatre present the last film of the Joe Risica Fall 2024 Series,
"Mamma Roma" directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, starring Anna Magnani, 1962 (not rated).
With a fervent yearning for respectability and enough money to buy herself a brand-new life in Rome, the uninhibited, fearless, determined former streetwalker Mamma Roma renounces her ignominious past to reunite with her loafing 16-year-old son Ettore. Free at last from her disgusting pimp and ex-lover Carmine, Roma is bent on making an honest living running a humble vegetable stall, but a malicious extortion scheme and the equally insidious menace of exposure threaten to put an end to her zealous aspirations for a decent bourgeois existence.
