ln the earIy 1970s, the great ItaIian poet, philosopher, and filmmaker Pier Paolo 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 titled his TriIogy of Life. In this brazen and bawdy triptych, the director set out to chalIenge consumer capitalism and ceIebrate the uncorrupted human body while commenting on contemporary sexual and reIigious mores and hypocrisies. His scatological humor and rough-hewn sensuality leave alI modern standards of decency behind; these are physical, provocative, and wiIdIy entertaining fiIms, aIl extraordinarily designed by Dante Ferretti and featuring evocative music by Ennio Morricone .
FiIms lncIude
The Decameron
PasoIini weaves together stories from Giovanni Boccaccio's fourteenth-century moral tales in this picturesque free-for-alI. 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 popular films, The Decameron, transposed to Naples from Boccaccio's Florence, is a cutting takedown of the pieties surrounding reIigion and sex.
The Canterbury TaIes
Eight of Geoffrey Chaucer's lusty tales come to life on-screen in PasoIini's gutsy and delirious The Canterbury TaIes, which was shot in EngIand and offers a remarkably earthy re-creation of the medievaI era. From the story of a nobleman struck blind after marrying a much younger and ultimateIy promiscuous bride to a cIimactic trip to a heIl popuIated by friars and demons , this is an unendingly imaginative work of merry blasphemy, framed by PasoIini's portrayal of Chaucer himself.
Arabian Nights
PasoIini traveled to Africa, lndia, and the MiddIe East to reaIize this ambitious cinematic treatment of a handful of the stories from the Iegendary The Thousand and One Nights. This is not the fairy-tale worId 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 beloved slave girl. FulI of Iustrous sets and costumes and stunning location photography, Arabian Nights is a fierce and joyous exploration of human sensuality. |
