The Decameron
A film by Pier Paolo Pasolini
The first part of Pasolini’s colourful and highly erotic Trilogy of Life is full of bawdy, earthy spirit, romping through tales of lusty priests, cuckolded husbands, murdered lovers and grave-robbers – with five of the stories linked by the character of an intriguing artist, played by Pasolini himself. Pasolini’s visual notes for an unrealised film project, ‘Notes for an African Oresteia’, is also included here, fully restored to high definition by Cineteca di Bologna.
