Synopsis

Rarely since Citizen Kane has a film debut by a director conveyed such promise. Like Rashomon, The Grim Reaper brilliantly explores the many sides to the truth of a brutal murder of a prostitute in a Rome Park. Bernardo Bertolucci delves into the dark underbelly of brute poverty, creati ng a tense tapestry of behavior and a challenging puzzle which leaves us celebrating life in all its pain, joy and humor. In Italian with English Bernardo Bertolucci---Italy---1962---93 mins.

Nice try, but no cigar. Other films do a better job of conveying the poverty and despair that, if they can be believed, pervaded post-WWII Italy. In my opinion, should not be mentioned in the same breath as Rashomon.
