Kuvaus: Program of the Pyrgos Cinema Club, a branch of the Greek Film Archive. The film analysis is authored by the critic Vasilis Rafailidis. “MAMA ROMA” is Pasolini’s second film following the masterly "ΑΚΚΑΤΟΝΕ". However, both the audience and the critics did not receive "the dignified prostitute with the typical bourgeois mentality” with the same degree enthusiasm. Nevertheless, Pasolini’s second film manifests, according to the author, the constituents of his ideology. 1) The lumpen proletarians are ideologically equaled to political bourgeois. 2)The lumpen retain their fighting spirit, yet their fate blocks their intention. 3)The lumpen and the bourgeois form parts of the same historical chain of events, both seeking happiness, though consisting of different elements. 4) Non-historicity, considered to be a dead-end, constitutes the essence of Pasolini’s tragic element, with one’s individual problem substituting for the lager one. MAMA ROMA, the "honorable" prostitute with the big dreams, remains a symbol of man who fights to overcome faith. The note concludes with the predicament that this film, viewed through the prism of Pasolini’s death, probably constitutes the most typical work in his entire filmography.
