Full Plot Details

In a seedy section of Rome, Vittorio Cataldi--"Accattone" ("beggar") to those who know him--lives off the avails of prostitution, Maddalena being his only girl. He is married to Ascenza with who he has young son Iaio, but he does not live with them, provide for them, or play any important role in their lives (they live with her father and brother). He generally hangs out with his similarly-slack friends, playing cards and drinking. His income source is threatened when Maddalena is hit by a motorcyclist, then beaten by rivals of his, which leads to her being arrested and jailed for a year. Largely because of Iaio, Accattone contemplates going straight and getting a real job. Then he meets Stella, an innocent young woman who has had a hard life, but is not as naive as she first appears. Accattone falls in love with her, but as the thought of working a steady job now becomes abhorrent, contemplates pimping for Stella. As Accattone and Stella's relationship progresses, Accattone's past might come back to haunt him.

Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Nick BarbaroThis may be the grimmest movie I've ever seen.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffThis is a fascinating debut by writer-director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who has scripted some interesting pix.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyPasolini made a strong feature debut with this gritty portrait of a new type of an Italian anti-hero, departing from the post WWII Italian ne-realism.
New York Times - 7/10 by Renata AdlerThe result is uneven, but not without distinction.
User Review - 10/10 by Amos Bbrilliant! love Pasolini and all the italian cinema:)
User Review - 10/10 by Michael T"Like most of the Italian Neorealist films of the late nineteen-forties to early sixties, Accattone (Rome: Arco Film, 1961), as a later derivative form of the genre, focuses mainly on the struggle of the marginalized lower classes, as they struggle at the farthest periphery of a more functionally elevated and elite social-cultural community."
User Review - 10/10 by David HHigh Class Neo Realismo!!! Frank Citti as Profound Chappy Roman Pimp is hillarious!!! It's a Powerful Statement against Post-Fascism!!! Love the Surreal Dream Scene!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Toshi TPoet director Pasolini's first film is a masterpiece about the ugly lives of pimps and prostitutes in post war Italy. It's gritty realism is deeply disturbing but also extremely powerful. Vittorio who likes to be called Accatone meaning the scrounger is a poor pimp who only has one prostitute under his control. One day she gets beaten up by a gang of rival pimps and is unable to work. Accatone sinks into deep poverty and meets Stella whom he unsuccessfully initially tries to convert into a prostitute. He falls in love with her and tries to go straight. Pasolini shows great compassion for the lives of these characters. A truly amazing film.
User Review - 10/10 by Jacek SNote: First Pasolini and possibly the best Pasolini.
User Review - 10/10 by Francisco FLa poesie transcendant le realisme et une devise a mediter sa vie durant : "Essayer pour croire".
