The Canterbury Tales
A free-flowing Breugelesque adaptation based on the 14th century stories of Geoffrey Chaucer, the film is also an exploration of the kind of folk tales and peasant motifs that were always close to Pasolini's heart. From this rich source of ribald material, the director displays his utopian vision of a peasantry free from guilt and moral inhibition.
