directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Italy, 1961, 116 min.
Pasolini's first attempt at directing was a masterpiece which shook Italian movie-making to its very core, shining the spotlight on the down-and-outs, the lumpenproletariat, and revealing the side of the consumer society that no one wanted to see. His assistant director was a young Bernardo Bertolucci: "I was moved to watch the way Pier Paolo devised the scenes; when I watched the daily screenings I got the feeling I was experiencing the very first days of the cinema".
