Accattone
Drama
A pimp with no other means to provide for himself finds his life spiralling out of control when his prostitute is sent to prison.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at Roman street life. It feels like a documentary, capturing the desperation and bleakness of poverty with stark realism. A somber, yet compelling, character study.
