Ragazzi di vita

Pasolini's undisputed masterpiece, in which Italy's great writer and heretic creates an everlasting monument to the lost and outcast from the slums of the Roman suburbs - provoking the enduring wrath of bigoted reactionaries from both the right and the left. This is the novel of Ricetto and his friends, who, abandoned by parents, God, and the world, wander through the entrails of the Roman urban universe.
