The Decameron was the first of director Pier Paolo Pasolini's "trilogy of life." The film, based on the sexually supercharged tales of Boccaccio, is a patchwork of many of Pasolini's favorite themes. Pasolini himself plays the role of an aspiring fresco painter who is advised that his completed work will never be as satisfying as his dream of that work. The film is followed by Pasolini's The Canterbury Tales and The Arabian Nights. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This was surprisingly acessable. It is just a bunch of funny stories that Pasolini puts together. All the stories are sexual, but very lighthearted. Pasolini ends the film by essentially declaring it's meaninglessness. So I have this to say:
It was quite entertaining and funny and you see an erect male penis(how utterly novel) The film is beautifull, and the DVD has great color and contrast. |
