I Racconti Di Canterbury
''The Canterbury Tales'' ( it, I racconti di Canterbury) is a 1972 Italian film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini based on the medieval narrative poem by Geoffrey Chaucer. The second film in Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life", preceded by ''The Decameron'' and followed by ''Arabian Nights'', it won the Golden Bear at the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival. With the Trilogy of Life, Pasolini sought to adapt vibrant, erotic tales from classical literature. With ''The Decameron'', Pasolini adapted an important work from the early era of the Italian language. With ''The Canterbury Tales'' he set his sights to the earthy Middle English tales of Chaucer. Behind the scenes, Pasolini broke up with Ninetto Davoli and said in retrospect, he was not in the right frame of mind for this kind of silly, lighthearted trilogy. Yet it remains one of his most important films. The movie came after a string of movies of the late 1960s in which Pasolini had a major ideological bent. Though this movie ...

Il Decameron
''The Decameron'' ( it, Il Decameron) is a 1971 anthology film written and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, based on the 14th-century allegory by Giovanni Boccaccio. It is the first film of Pasolini's ''Trilogy of Life'', the others being '' The Canterbury Tales'' and '' Arabian Nights''. Each film was an adaptation of a different piece of classical literature focusing on ribald and often irreligious themes. The tales contain abundant nudity, sex, slapstick and scatological humour. Pasolini's intention was not to faithfully recreate the world of Boccaccio's characters but to criticise the contemporary world through metaphorical use of the themes present in the stories. Stories are often changed to southern Italy and heavy use of the Neapolitan dialect is used to signify the mistreatment and economic exploitation of the poorer region by the richer northern parts of Italy. The film was entered into the 21st Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear Extra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
