Synopsis
In this first film of the highly erotic “Trilogy of Life,” Pasolini adapts with energy Boccaccio’s playful and bawdy tales (often both at once), and approaches eroticism and sensuality with almost complete freedom. The nostalgia for a carefree approach to sex and love is expressed in a work that seeks to exalt “innocent bodies” and an “archaic and vital violence” linked to desire. A successful endeavor!
Starring Franco Citti, Ninetto Davoli, Pier Paolo Pasolini
