Accattone (Pasolini, 1961): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 3.10pm
This is part of the 'Censored to Restored' season and also screens on July 9th.
Chicago Reader review:
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s first film is neo-neorealism, set in the slums and
back alleys familiar from De Sica and Fellini but directed with a cold
dispassion that belongs to Pasolini alone. Accattone is a thief and pimp
who tries to go straight, fails, and eventually kills himself in a
meaningless accident. The brutality and frigid despair of this 1962 film
have had a lasting impact on political filmmaking.
