Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by A.H. WeilerMr. Bertolucci's dissections reveal the lying and viciousness common to these beasts in the human jungle.
CinePassion - 6/10 by Fernando F. CroceBernardo Bertolucci the poet, declaring a change of medium
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by J. R. JonesThe result is stylish and occasionally haunting.
User Review - 10/10 by Pavandeep SThe Italian version of "Rashomon". Like the Kurosawa film, it is about the search for an absolute truth in an often murky, subjective world. The police, investigating a murder, take testimony from many witnesses: the sources don't always agree...
User Review - 8/10 by Private UHorrible. Immensely boring with many pointless scenes that were too long and lacking in dialogue.
User Review - 8/10 by Evan JThe body of a prostitute is found by the Tiber river. The police begin questioning witnesses but are they reliable? A little slow and there aren't many twists but overall it is a very interesting movie.
User Review - 8/10 by David DBertolucci's film takes influence from Rashomon, and feels like Kurosawa on a bad day which is pretty good for a 21 year old director.
User Review - 8/10 by Sherry .So Bertolucci's a weird guy. This is the third of his movies that we've done here, though it's his first. However, while there are a few similarities of plot to [i]The Last Emperor[/i] and [i]Last Tango in Paris[/i], there are some pretty major differences among the three. As you no doubt know if you've read many of my reviews, I didn't finish [i]Last Tango in Paris[/i]; the fact that I finished this one means this is clearly a superior film. It also feels less forced than [i]The Last Emperor[/i], though it's by no means as lovely. Indeed, it's a film of which you're compelled to use the word "gritty." [i]La Commare secca[/i] means "the Grim Reaper," a title that will be made meaningful only at the end. We are not told at the outset why our characters are being interrogated by the police, but it is pretty apparent right away that this is something serious. Each is being asked to relate their experiences in a park the previous night--the enforcer, the pickpocket, the soldier. Any of them may well be the criminal; we the audience do not find out--do not even really find out the crime--until the end. Bertolucci is toying with us, but it works beautifully. This is yet another film that shows us how wonderful B&W can be. The pattern of shadows in the park that night would not be at all the same in colour. Further, since this was 1962, it would have been pretty obvious that this was not truly night, that it was filtered. While B&W cannot keep them completely hidden, it would be awfully transparent in colour. B&W renders the Tiber sinister in ways that colour would not. I must admit that I don't remember most of the characters' names, a common failing of mine in subtitled movies. I do not know which female is which. Francolicchio I remember because he does have a pretty interesting name. Teodoro is actually credited as "Teodoro the soldier." "Esperia" gets her name said repeatedly. Further, many of these people seem only to have been in the one movie, so IMDB has no pictures of pretty much anybody for me to examine to try to figure out who any of the other people are. However, I do not think their names are the important part. The enforcer. The pickpocket. The soldier. I would not have seen this movie if I were not doing this project. This is part of my answer as to why I'm doing it in the first place. It's true that I haven't gotten to, say, [i]The Godfather[/i] yet because I'm only about to reach "D." However, if I started skipping ahead to every movie that someone told me I had to see now, I know I would never get back to doing this my way, and I would miss movies like this.
User Review - 8/10 by Ben WA rather impressive debut. This guy was 21 when he directed this!? Granted as others have pointed out the plot doesn't so much move along with great suspense, it's more an interesting character journey. I found the characters to be quite compelling and the filmming techniques to be rather enrapturing. I suppose this would be a good start for my first Bertolucci film.
User Review - 8/10 by Matthew AThis is a rather insightful film, particularly on examining human behavior and how it is important in providing answers to how a crime was committed in the first place. Amazing that Bernardo Bertolucci was only 22 when this film was released!
