La Commare Secca ( The Grim Reaper )
Bertolucci's debut feature was written by his friend Pier Paolo Pasolini and bears that filmmaker's mark of realism. When a prostitute is murdered in a park in Rome, the police investigate all those who were in the vicinity at the time, in this gripping portrait of Rome's seedy 1960s underbelly.
