Film very underrated by some - The Grim Reaper review by Cato

Spoiler Alert
11/12/2017

This was the first film directed by the eminent Italian director, Bernardo Bertolucci, made when he was 21 years old. It was written by another Italian director, Pier Paulo Pasolini, and follows the investigation of various men who were seen after the death of a woman in the outskirts of Rome. What makes the film so important is the cinematography, by the director and Sergio Citti, who together have made the film so beautiful to watch. From the opening scene of pieces of torn up paper floating around the dead woman to the end when all the suspects are seen against the harsh wilderness of the riverside, this film can be seen as a significant opening to Bertolucci's career. Not to be missed if you are a fan of 60s Italian cinema.
