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, 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.
