[Machine Translation] Her dream was to leave her dark past behind and start a new life with her beloved son... Pier Paolo Pasolini depicts the cry of the souls of the poor and the unblessed! This is the second feature film by poet and novelist Pier Paolo Pasolini, who made his directorial debut at the age of 39 with *Accattone* (1961) which featured a prostitute s pimp as the protagonist at the age of 39. This is the second feature film by poet and novelist Pier Paolo Pasolini, who made his directorial debut with that film. It is one of Pasolini s most representative socially conscious works. While inheriting the spirit of Neorealism an essential element in any discussion of postwar Italian cinema the film is deeply imbued with Pasolini s unique religious symbolism and social criticism. The role of the female lead, Mamma Roma, is played by Anna Magnani, one of Italy s most renowned actresses. She conveys the anger and sorrow of nameless common people with a unique intensity. After being freed by her pimp Carmine s (Franco Citti) marriage, the prostitute Mamma Roma (Anna Magnani) now freed by her pimp Carmine s (Franco Citti) marriage wishes for her doted-on 16-year-old son Ettore (Ettore Galofaro) to lead a life different from her own, so she spends her savings to set up a vegetable stall at the market. She then moves with her son who is unaware of her past profession to an apartment on the outskirts of Rome, hoping for a fresh start. In her mind, this new environment would allow Ettore to lead an honest, working-class life. However, Ettore joins a group of poor delinquent boys and, to make matters worse, becomes intimately involved with Bruna, a 24-year-old woman with a child. Ettore steals and sells his mother s records to buy her a gift, and when he tries to protect his girlfriend from the delinquents, he is beaten and seriously injured. Mamma Roma, whose hopes for Ettore had been dashed, was furious, but she pulled herself together and, in an effort to make him forget about Bruna, asked the priest to help her son find a job. However, the priest advised her to send the boy to school first... The special features include the theatrical trailer.
