Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Decameron was the first of director
Pier Paolo
Pasolini's "trilogy of life." The film, based on the sexually supercharged
tales of Boccaccio, is a patchwork of many of Pasolini's favorite themes, with
a surprising endorsement of heterosexuality—specifically female
heterosexuality—included in the proceedings. Pasolini himself plays the role
of an aspiring fresco painter who is advised that his completed work will
never be as satisfying as his dream of that work. Not one to make his films
accessible to a general audience, Pasolini nonetheless enjoyed a positive
public response to
Decameron (a
response due more to the film's raw eroticism than the public's grasp of
Pasolini's messages). The film was followed by Pasolini's
Canterbury Tales
and Arabian
Nights.
