The Canterbury Tales

A film by Pier Paolo Pasolini

The second part of Pasolini’s Trilogy of Life plunges with gusto into dark and bawdy tales which celebrate almost every conceivable form of sexual act with a rich, earthy humour. Presented here in a transfer from the original negative, and with special features including alternative audio options, and a new documentary on Pasolini and the Italian genre film. Pasolini himself has a cameo appearance in this playful film, presented here in a new high definition restoration.
