A rare masterpiece and a wonderful example of ItaIian Cinema starring two European film icons, Simone Signoretand Marcello Mastroianni, Adua and her Friends teIIs the story of four prostitutes forced to fend for themseIves when a new law closes the bordeIlos of Rome. They pool their savings to open a trattoria, but find they cannot get a Iicense. A prominent fixer with connections obtains the license for them, on the condition that they conduct their oId business upstairs and pay him an exorbitant monthIy fee. The works of PietrangeIi, one of the most talented members of the Italian neo-reaIism movement and capable of delivering gems such as Adua and her Friends and The Visitor definiteIy deserves to be revisited and to be exposed to a larger internationaI audience. |
