"Accattone" by acclaimed film director and writer Pier Paolo Pasolini tells the story of a man trying to make a living in the slums of Rome during the 1960's. This movie is grippingly real and gives a vivid glimpse into the poverty and corruption that occured in certain parts of Europe during that era. The main character is someone that doesn't work, is in the company of prostitutes and pimps and practices certain destructive behaviors, which evidently exacerbate his destitute situation. This is definitely a top movie that portrays the increasingly rampant growth of urban poverty.
