What Ostia Is About

In the poor Roman suburb of Ostia two brothers, Bandiera and Rabbino, live off petty theft. They take in a girl who has run from her father's violence and the three of them live together for a while, until both brothers fall for her and what held them together comes apart. This was Sergio Citti's first film as director; he wrote it with Pier Paolo Pasolini, who also produced. Franco Citti and Laurent Terzieff play the brothers. Our record gives both the events and the ending differently: by other accounts only one of the brothers is left standing.
