Abstract

This work attempts to underscore certain formal and semantic aspects of Pasolini’s working method found in his first film that will reappear in his later works. Reality is turned into a symbolic fabric that requires we handle with care to better appreciate the network of signs unfolding.

Accattone: una nuova vita. Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1961
Questo lavoro sottolinea alcuni aspetti formali e semantici del metodo di lavoro di Pasolini nel suo primo film che riapparirà poi nelle sue opere successive. La realtà si trasforma in un tessuto simbolico che deve essere decodificato attentamente per cogliere la rete di segni presenti.
