La Commare Secca (1962)
Member Rating:  
A very young Bernardo Bertolucci already shows his talent in this bleak, 94-minute murder mystery, told in an interesting series of flashbacks. A Roman prostitute has been brutally murdered in a park near the Tiber River and in order to forward their investigation, the police corner a handful of people who were in the park at the time. As they separately tell their versions of why they were there and what they did, their narrations do not necessarily match the images on the screen that do reflect the truth. By the time all the flashbacks have been completed, a real picture of the crime emerges, revealing that one of those in custody is the killer. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    The synopsis Blockbuster has for this movie is dead-on; it explains the movie plot perfectly. That said, the really interesting part of this movie is the way it was directed, and the cinematography. It's in black and white, very solemn and austere. There is nothing extraneous. If you love Bertolucci, you will probably like this movie. Otherwise, I would say this movie has a great concept that could more interesting, tense and exciting if it were re-done today using modern methods. 3 Stars out of 5.
