Official synopsis
The life, problems and hopes of the “ragazzi” from Rome’s popular suburbs. Ignored by the city, these guys spontaneously express their vitality, their violence, their willingness to put themselves on the line and their love for risk. They stand at the center of “Ragazzi di vita”, the first novel by Pier Paolo Pasolini, who’s also the author of the commentary for this documentary.
Biography and Filmography
Born in 1927, Cecilia Mangini is a filmmaker, documentary filmmaker and photographer who has taken an engaged, attentive and personal look at individuals and society from the outset, with particular attention to the themes of marginality, immigration and social injustice. The first woman in Italy to shoot documentaries in the post-war period, the author of a few feature films and more than forty short films, largely co-directed with her husband Lino Del Fra, she was able to highlight the transition of her country which was moving away, sometimes slowly, from fascism, towards an industrial society. Her itinerary crossed those of Vittorio De Seta, Gianfranco Mingozzi, Florestano Vancini, Vasco Pratolini and Pier Paolo Pasolini to whom she entrusted the writing of three commentaries. Cecilia Mangini passed on some of the most beautiful images of Italy from the 1950s and 1960s to future generations. (Tënk)
