Abstract
Accattone es la primera película de Pier Paolo Pasolini, en ella se muestra un retrato de los arrabales y del Lumpen de la Roma de finales de los años cincuenta del pasado siglo XX. En el estudio que aquí se presenta se analiza, en concreto, el parentesco de este film con el neorrealismo y también su relación con el cine clásico hollywoodiense. El hecho de que esta película aparezca en un momento histórico en el que se estaban produciendo movimientos y rupturas en los planteamientos ideológicos del Cine Occidental, nos da pie, en esta investigación, para analizar cómo este film sirve de punto de inflexión entre el cine de relato simbólico y el cine postclásico. Y, por último, el análisis del desenlace de esta película nos sugiere un inquietante paralelismo entre el final del protagonista y el del propio director, Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Accattone is Pier Paolo Pasolini´s first film, which shows a portrait of the underprivileged quarters of Rome at the beginning of the sixties. In the study presented here the relation with this film and neo-realism and also its relation with classic Hollywood cinema are discussed. Given the placing of this film in the historic moment of movements and ruptures with Western Cinema, this investigation draws attention to how this film serves as a turning point between Symbolic Story Cinema and Post Classical Cinema. At the same time an analysis of the conclusion of this film suggests an unsettling parallel between the end of the main character and the author himself, Pier Paolo Pasolini.
