Bernardo Bertolucci made his debut as a promising writer and director based on a story by Pier Paolo Pasolini with whom he worked on his directing debut "Accattone." The story unfolds as different suspects are interrogated to solve the murder of a prostitute. The style is reminiscent of Akira Kurosawa's "Rashômon" but Bertolucci/Pasolini use the multiple views to make a social commentary on how unemployed young males are on the verge of committing a criminal act including robbing and killing a prostitute for petty cash. The eternal city of Rome is prominently featured that has influenced many of the great Italian masters including Bertolucci. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
