Review

With all the hallmarks of great Bertolucci and Pasolini, this first Bertolucci film is a B&W treasure filled with amazing photography and gorgeous Italian men. This rarely seen work, based on a five-page outline by Pier Paolo Pasolini, was 22-year-old Bertolucci's first film as a director. Set in Rome's seedy underworld, the story involves the investigation of the police into the brutal murder of a prostitute. As they go through the list of possible suspects, the police find a beguiling maze of alibis as well as widely different recountings of the events leading up to the woman's last day. A gay witness to the crime is featured as the murder took place in a notorious cruising area. An interesting debut and one that the director admits was made by "...someone who had never shot one foot of 35mm before but who had seen lots and lots of films." (Italian with English subtitles)
