Accattone (1961)

Drama

Pasolini's first film is a painfully realistic study of a pimp in Rome. Vittorio Accattone has never worked a day in his life, but has apparently made a good living pimping out his female companion Maddalena. But her arrest begins his decline: hungry, he begs from churches and even visits his estranged wife and son. When Stella, a lovely and unbelievably innocent peasant worker, enters his life, Accattone tries to find a way, honest or not, to bring back good fortune.—Gary Dickerson
