Abstract

This paper will discuss the dialogue between Pasolini and a new generation of Italian filmmakers, in particular a specific tradition of staging the city, not failing to explore the use and partial deconstruction of myths associated with Rome, and the associated stylistics of a particular narrative, which began thanks to the cinematic work of Pasolini. In this context, the dialogue between Pasolini’s films Accattone (1961) and Mamma Roma (1962) and three films of the last decade will be analyzed: Gabriele Mainetti’s Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot (2015), Claudio Caligari’s Non essere cattivo (2015), and Riccardo Milani’s Come un gatto in tangenziale (2017).
