ACCATONE! (1961)
Some pimps should just stay home.
Some pimps ain't got no luck.
This one hangs around in a slum
with his chums--so in fact
he doesn't leave home.
One day broke luckless Accatone
sees a nice girl
and is stunned.
He wants her
as she is, but he needs her
to making a living, so
to the streets she goes.
Disenchantment with his niche
leads Accatone to take a radical step
toward a more honest profession:
stealing.
but pimps aren't meant
to work
and it is
his undoing.
Everyone in this,
Passolini's first
movie,
is hungry, yet
their specific charm lies
in the inability
to imagine
food

The Purpose of this Blog...
Originally, it was "To watch all the important films in World Cinema and write something intelligent in response."

Originally, it was "To watch all the important films in World Cinema and write something intelligent in response."
It was an ambitious goal, and I was making some progress. I have slowed down considerably. This is still meant to be a blog of poetry about film. I may add some trivia or prose. I just added a poem about a cable series. It is an evolving project.
