Synopsis

The first of Pasolini's colourful, entertaining and highly erotic Trilogy of Life films, The Decameron tells ten stories based on fourteenth-century originals.
Full of bawdy, earthy spirit, and presented in a high-definition restoration, the film romps through its tales of sex and death – of lusty nuns and priests, cuckolded husbands, murdered lovers and grave-robbers – with five of the stories linked by the character of an intriguing artists, played by Pasolini himself.
