Review of Mamma Roma (1962) by Sean C — 23 Mar 2009
Many of the Italian Neo-Realist movies I find are overrated. This is another that is highly acclaimed, but I did find it interesting all the way through. I heard that it was very controversial in Italy because it showed Rome, with all its religious symbols, in the same frame as the underbelly.
Many found that to be immoral at the time. Of course, it didn't have that effect watching it now, but that may be why this is thought of as such an important film.
