This is my first Pasolini movie and it has to be said that it is a highly impressive debut film. The story is enthralling and the performances are for the most part as well, although there are quite a few moments when the non-professional nature of the actors manifests in a way that disrupts the flow of the film in a detrimental way. There is no doubt that it is at the same time brutal and delicate - hallmarks of neorealism - in its portrayal of Roman life at this time as a moral quagmire.

(Viewed on 19/05/13): If you want to see where Scorsese got the idea to film Raging Bull as an operatic tragedy about a complete asshole, look no further than Accattone, but unlike LaMotta, Accattone is framed as a victim of his miserable economic circumstances, forcing him to lead a life that's less than noble. Citti is superb as Accattone, eliciting both disgust and sympathy in a difficult role, and it was a fine debut from Pasolini that is superior to his largely overrated late color works.
Aug 17, 2017	Moribunny	65 _64%
I know I'm in a minority, but I regret to see Pasolini move into the director's chair, because he was never able to treat his own stories as well as Fellini and Mauro Bolognini had when he was writing for them. Accattone is the first in a little over a decade's worth of relatively fumbling directing work marked by lackadaisical editing and distractingly anachronistic baroque soundtracks. They're still good films for the most part, but they stole the center stage from even better contemporaries.

Pasolini's first film follows Accattone, a lazy degenerate pimp making a meagre living on the streets of Rome. It's a tough, bleak portrayal of the Italian underclass but it never quite achieves the desired neorealist tone, and aside from an excellent dream sequence, few scenes stand out. Franco Citti, then a complete unknown, sells the depraved protagonist convincingly.

The pimps are the "part of no part". They refuse to fit in the system yet they call themselves "the Italians". That doesn't make them very likeable of course, they exploit women in the most disgusting way after all. There is no hope, only wonder when Vittorio Accatone meets Stella and he can't believe how she can have such a beautiful face in this ugly world.

More interesting than satisfying. It's a study of laziness and darkness. Looking for shortcuts instead of doing honest work, though when the honest work is thankless, backbreaking, and for next to no pay, why not? There's no judgment on the characters, and the tone is very matter-of-fact making it a surprisingly assured directorial debut.
