Review of Mamma Roma (1962) by Y'ng Y — 11 Jan 2009
Passionate performance by Anna Magnani in this shattering portrait. Like Caravaggio, marginalized people are filmed with religious elevation. One feels deeply for Mamma Roma in this epitome of unrewarding motherhood, and tragic circumstances, it is the strong who is capable of powerful emotions.
