Special Subject Anna Magnani Sampler, Part 2 - THE ROSE TATTOO (1955), WILD IS THE WIND (1957), THE FUGITIVE KIND (1960) and MAMA ROMA (1962)

Published: July 19, 2024, 4:01 a.m.

Our second Anna Magnani Sampler includes three Hollywood films, two with parts written for her by her friend Tennessee Williams, as well as the second film directed by Pasolini: The Rose Tattoo\xa0(1955),\xa0Wild is the Wind\xa0(1957),\xa0The Fugitive Kind\xa0(1960), and\xa0Mamma Roma (1962). Paired with a wacky Burt Lancaster, a bullying Anthony Quinn, a quietly intense Brando, or a nihilistic teenager, Magnani takes on such enemies as the racist South, patriarchy, and the class system with varying results, but always with ferocity and gusto.\xa0
