Top CriticThis may be the grimmest movie I've ever seen.

Powerful, gripping, urgent.
05/24/03
The brutality and frigid despair of this 1962 film have had a lasting impact on political filmmaking.
01/01/00
Top Criticpresents an even bleaker picture than Rossellini and De Sica
06/12/03
A brutally lyrical and unsentimental urban drama grounded in realism.
07/30/07
This is a fascinating debut by writer-director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who has scripted some interesting pix.

Top CriticPasolini's first feature is a classic neorealist study of the Roman underworld of poverty and petty thievery.

The character of Accattone himself, self-destructive and conscious of his situation within a class from which he cannot escape, embodies many of the contradictions in Pasolini's lifetime of coming to terms with Marxism and Catholicism.
