"Stunning imagery!A rich, sensual fresco."-Los Angeles Times
Legendary Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini delivers nine exuberant tales in this "earthy, genuinely ribald and spicy" (Variety) film.Based on Boccaccio's timeless classic - and the first in Pasolini's Trilogy of Life Series -The Decameron is an uproariously "irreverent romp (Variety) that's "positively jubilant in its naughtiness" (Films and Filming)!
Lusty nuns who perform sexual "miracles," a cheating wife with a head for business, a dying con artist attempting a heavenly smile, young lovers caught with their pants down, a servant who loses his head for love and a gullible farmer who tries to turn his wife into a mare.These are just some of the stories Pasolini vividly brings to life!
