		Similarly, Mamma Roma’s lack of embellishment in setting and context is contrary in comparison to the effort Pasolini displays in his later films to fashion elaborate and fantastic scenarios.
		Mamma Roma is similar to Fellini’s La Strada in its sparing exhibit of its director’s aesthetic trademarks (Nights of Cabiria would be the more apt thematic comparison).
		Mamma Roma is not the transition that is The Gospel According to St. Matthew (which is possibly Pasolini’s most distinguished film), yet it is an indication of Pasolini’s direction away from neorealism and towards epic allegories.

		Mamma Roma, and the character of Ettore may be seen, in a symbolic fashion, as one born of immaculate conception (the identity of Ettore's father, if there is one, is never revealed).
		Mamma Roma can thus be seen as a religious allegory in addition to being Pasolini's critical commentary of the Italian social hierarchy.
		Mamma Roma was generally well-received, but Pasolini's strong religious views, which became progressively provocative in his subsequent directorial efforts, increasingly brought the ire of the Catholic Church upon the director.

		One of the early Pasolini, Mamma Roma is a forgotten gem of Italian cinema.
		Mamma Roma is the lost, heroic sinner of the Italian lower classes who can sometimes struggle to better themselves through respectable work, faith and redemption.
		Pasolini is able to comunicate not only her ease and familiarity with this world and her alternate sense of cosmic "aloneness" in it, but a resonate sense of the moral disruption and decay he saw as prominent in that society.

		Mamma Roma, while perhaps not his most impressive work, has these qualities in spades.
		Other Pasolini projects may have achieved more with their provocative exploits, but Mamma Roma encapsulates the Pasolini universe in a package that is accessible, audacious and multi-layered.
		Mamma Roma is a complicated, flawed, involving work, one that demands much from its viewers but repays the effort with a raucously unique view of the world.

		Mamma Roma is not above setting up an elaborate con to help her boy land a job at a fancy restaurant after he drops out of school (again).
		Pasolini shrewdly balances Mamma Roma's larger-than-life persona with some intriguing technical/aesthetic devices, including his repetition of the same haunting Vivaldi concerto – with its clear harmonic structure and graceful melod – under the most melodramatic scenes, as in the late scene when Mamma Roma attacks Carmine, who has invaded her home.
		Mamma Roma's life story is split up into several – often contradictory – bits and pieces, which she recounts to various characters throughout the picture.

		To express his outrage at the spiritual vacancy of vulgar consumerism, Pasolini cast the great Anna Magnani in the title role, a former prostitute struggling to transcend her sordid past in a desperate attempt to give her estranged teenage son the better life she never had.
		Like most of Pasolini's films, Mamma Roma attracted controversy, but it was nothing compared to the outcry over "La ricotta," a 35-minute short featuring Orson Welles (part of the 1963 anthology film RoGoPaG, and included here for the first time on DVD).

		But a substantial part of the beauty of Mamma Roma is that you don’t have to go deep to emerge from it satisfied.

		Mamma Roma is committed to her son like any mother, but, being a streetwise woman, her care extends to arranging for his deflowering in the bed of a fellow whore.
