As the sons of anarchists, they don't have much to do with society and its rules anyway, have been in prison a few times and earn their living through petty theft. However, their lives are disrupted when one day they meet Monica (Anita Sanders), whom they find unconscious near their small house. While their acquaintances feast on the young woman, Rabbino and Bandiera wait until the goings-on come to an end. When Monica regains consciousness, the brothers decide to take her in. From now on, the three are virtually inseparable and spend their days on trips to the beach or boat trips on the Adriatic. Read Also: Bob Marley: One Love Movie Explained: What’s Up With the Ending? Even when the two men have to go behind bars for a while again for theft, this doesn't affect their relationship with Monica. She comes to visit them regularly and even brings a few of her friends from Ostia with her. However, in order to receive visitation rights, Monica must declare that she is engaged to one of the two brothers. When she tells them both, there is a first break in their relationship. The billing Originally, director and screenwriter Pier Paolo Pasolini had intended the script for Ostia as his own project, but then he gave it to his long-time friend and assistant director Sergio Citti. Citti was not only a help to him in many of his films, but also one of the people who introduced him to the milieu around Ostia, with the small-time crooks, thieves and prostitutes who play an important role in Pasolini's artistic work. The influence of the mentor can be felt in every respect in Citti's directorial debut, but especially in the nihilistic tone, which is a more than fitting swan song to the 1960s and the state of disillusionment and the realization that everything is returning to a routine and thus familiar patterns . A special character in Ostia is the small community itself. Once a refuge for Italians who flock to the beach with their families on weekends, this Ostia is now only a vague memory. Poverty and crime characterize the dreary landscape in which the two brothers live and its barrenness acts as a mirror of their own emotional world. Like Rabbino and Bandiera, she was aware of the various political and social trends, of which there is not much left anymore. At least there is nothing left of them that has not passed into the authoritarian hierarchy that rules their world like an all-powerful Panopticon. Life is dull and gray with few distractions, and beyond that there is only prison, which seems like a microcosm of society. Like his mentor, Citti not only uses the narrative and aesthetic means of neorealism to represent reality, Ostia is rather an illustration of the conditions after the end of all utopias and dreams. Ostia is a reckoning. The disillusionment Rabbino and Bandiera are people beyond ideologies. They condemn the parents' anarchism as well as the repressive hierarchy in society, which Citti portrays as a surveillance society based on a system of reward and punishment. Only the emotional connection to the brother remains, the camaraderie, the nonsense and the innuendo. Franco Citti and Laurent Terzieff play two people who have already disillusioned themselves with the world and are completely satisfied with their existence as outsiders. Monika, played by Anita Sanders, finds in them two co-conspirators who share their rejection of social structures. Citti shows how the three characters define a small utopia for themselves, a refuge, which, however, is shattered by banality. What comes next is the end of the ideology, a new beginning that begins with a bloody act. | |
