La Notte di San Lorenzo
the child in this film

I saw a film in the early 80s about a young boy set in I think Rio.  He was raped in a boys home then became a child prositute then became obsesses with needing a mother to the point where he tried to suckle on an adult friend.  The child in this was amazing.  I think the title started with X but I can't be sure.

Taviani Brothers made beautiful heart wrenching films.  I recommend their work to you.
