Accattone

Pier Paolo Pasolini proved himself a radical with his very first feature, in which he courted controversy by applying Catholic iconography and the liturgical music of Bach to a grim neorealist story set in Italian society’s lowest depths. Accattone (Franco Citti) is a shiftless pimp who loses his livelihood when the woman he works with is thrown in prison.
