In Mamma Roma (1962), the tragic story of a prostitute and her son, he had shown how integration into the petit bourgeois aquarium is barred to the subaltern class.

MAMMA ROMA 1962 quoted in Cinemama

‘I think that consumerism manipulates and violates bodies subjected to power neither more nor less that Nazism. I consider consumerism to be a fascism worse than the classical one.‘

LA RABBIA 1963

A hundred pages of elegiac prose and verse, a texture of moving images, photographs and painting reproductions: in the workshop for Anger, Pier Paolo Pasolini experimented for the first time with a form differing from the conventions of traditional film narrative and documentary. In his own words, what he wanted to create was ‘a new cinema genre. To make a poetic and ideological essay with new sequences. La rabbia was meant as ‘an act of indignation against the unreality of the bourgeois world and its consequent historical irresponsibility—a record of the presence of a world that, unlike the bourgeois world, has a deep grasp of reality. Reality: a true love of tradition, as only revolution can give.’
