Arabian Nights

The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series, following The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales, was two years in the making. The locations - Yemen, Ethiopia, Iran and Nepal - form a rich, exotic backdrop to these tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms.
