Sophia Loren returns to acting and plays a Holocaust survivor in 'Rosa e Momo'
Ten years after her last acting job, the actress Sophia Loren returned in front of the cameras – at 86 years old.
Rosa and Momo (Life ahead of him), film that arrived on Netflix on November 13, was produced during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
Almost half a million viewers have already seen the melodrama. It's a heavy, moving, heartbreaking film.
In the film, Sophia plays Madame Rosa, a former prostitute who is a Holocaust survivor who runs a daycare center for the children of call girls in her home.
An original song by the Italian singer appears on the production's soundtrack. Laura Pausini and a song performed by the Brazilian Elsa Soares.
Listen to the main songs from the film below:
Remake relocated to the present
The script was based on the novel Life ahead (The life ahead, 1975), by Romain Gary.
At the time, the book caused a scandal in France, as the author had won the prestigious literary prize Prix Goncourt for the second time – irregularly, as it turned out later, under the pseudonym Emile Ajar.
In 1977, the novel was adapted for film, with Simone Signoret playing Madame Rosa.
Watch the clip “Io sì (Seen)", a song composed by Laura Pausini herself for the soundtrack of "Rosa e Momo":
