Accattone
(The Scrounger)

The first of Pasolini's highly acclaimed films, and the winner of numerous film festival prizes. "Accattone" uses a talented cast to present a vivid picture of the Roman slums. Based on one of the filmmaker/poet's novels, this story of a pimp, his friends, his enemies and his girls is realism at its earthiness. It is brutal, realistic, un-sentimental and bustling with life. Particularly effective is the use of Bach on the soundtrack which provides the ironic counterpoint of the world of pimps, prostitutes and street fighters.
