Pasolini's first film is a painfully realistic study of a pimp in Rome. Vittorio Accattone has never worked a day in his life, and has apparently made a good living prostituting his female companion, Maddalena. But her arrest begins his decline. (Italy, 1961, B&W, 116 mins, dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini, with Franco Citti, Italian with English subtitles) (#5353)
