Restored to its 110-minute length from the originally released 105-minute version, "Mamma Roma" is more curiosity than must-see: an early glimpse at Pasolini's themes and film making styles, and a chance to see Magnani, an institution in her own country, in a role that she deemed "the most important I have played so far.".

It was the disappointment with the way his scenarios were directed by others that gave Pasolini the push he needed to make films himself (6). Uccellacci e uccellini marks, for Pasolini, the final liquidation of neo-realism, the fading of the political hopes first represented by Gramsci and the Resistance partisans, and his moving progressively farther and farther away from neo-realism in the adoption of the parable form (either modern or set in an antique past).
