Description: |
Director Pier Paolo Pasolini followed his version of 'The Decameron' with this bawdy and scandalous adaptation of Chaucer's tales. Officially declared obscene by the Italian courts, the film is a catalogue of different sexual acts, including flagellation, voyeurism and sleeping with watermelons. It includes elements of eight different Chaucer tales - those of the Merchant, Friar, Cook, Miller, Wife of Bath, Reeve, Pardoner and Summoner - and ends with Pasolini's celebrated vision of hell. |
