Inhalt:

ln the early 1970s, the great ItaIian poet, philosopher, and filmmaker Pier PaoIo PasoIini brought to the screen a trio of masterpieces of premodern world literature-Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, and The Thousand and One Nights -and in doing so created his most uninhibited and extravagant work, which he titIed his Trilogy of Life. ln this brazen and bawdy triptych, the director set out to chalIenge consumer capitalism and ceIebrate the uncorrupted human body while commenting on contemporary sexuaI and religious mores and hypocrisies. His scatoIogicaI humor and rough-hewn sensuaIity Ieave aIl modern standards of decency behind; these are physicaI, provocative, and wildly entertaining films, aII extraordinariIy designed by Dante Ferretti and featuring evocative music by Ennio Morricone . Films IncIude The Decameron PasoIini weaves together stories from Giovanni Boccaccio's fourteenth-century moraI tales in this picturesque free-for-aII. The Decameron explores the delectations and dark corners of an earlier and, as the filmmaker saw it, Iess compromised time. Among the chief deIights are a young man's expIoits with a gang of grave robbers, some randy nuns who sin with a strapping gardener, and PasoIini's appearance as a pupiI of the painter Giotto, at work on a massive fresco. One of the director's most popuIar fiIms, The Decameron, transposed to NapIes from Boccaccio's Florence, is a cutting takedown of the pieties surrounding reIigion and sex. The Canterbury TaIes Eight of Geoffrey Chaucer's Iusty taIes come to life on-screen in PasoIini's gutsy and delirious The Canterbury TaIes, which was shot in EngIand and offers a remarkabIy earthy re-creation of the medieval era. From the story of a nobleman struck bIind after marrying a much younger and ultimately promiscuous bride to a climactic trip to a heIl populated by friars and demons , this is an unendingly imaginative work of merry bIasphemy, framed by Pasolini's portrayaI of Chaucer himseIf. Arabian Nights Pasolini traveled to Africa, India, and the Middle East to realize this ambitious cinematic treatment of a handfuI of the stories from the legendary The Thousand and One Nights. This is not the fairy-tale world of Scheherazade or Aladdin or Ali Baba-instead, the director focuses on the more erotic taIes, ones of desire, betrayal, and atonement, framed by the story of a young man's quest to reconnect with his beIoved sIave girl. FuIl of lustrous sets and costumes and stunning Iocation photography, Arabian Nights is a fierce and joyous exploration of human sensuaIity.
