A Violent Life

Scarred from their abusive upbringing by an anarchist father in the coastal town of Ostia, scuffling siblings Bandiera (Laurent Terzieff) and Rabbino (Franco Citti) at least had their deep familial bond. When they take in the pretty runaway Monica (Anita Sanders), however, blood ties won't get them over the dangerously jealous rift that erupts. Effective tale co-scripted by Pier Paolo Pasolini also stars Ninetto Davoli, Lamberto Maggiorani. AKA: "Ostia." 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English. In Italian with English subtitles.
