Review: The Grim Reaper

The 1962 Italian film La Commare Secca [The Grim Reaper] is written and directed by Bernardo Bertolucci in his extraordinarily confident, stylish and successful directorial debut at the of age 21, with his screenplay based on a short story by his mentor Pier Paolo Pasolini.

A prostitute lies dead on the bank of the River Tiber in Rome, and then the police start a series of interrogations of six prime suspects known to have been in a nearby park at the time of the murder, seen in a series of flashbacks. There is a pair of suspects in one case: two friends and penniless Casanovas.

New talent is hard to establish. Bertolucci manages an individual voice and style none the less.
