Plot

Stories from Boccaccio's book; the first of his Trilogy of Life.

Sinekatalog’s take

Pier Paolo Pasolini's first Trilogy of Life film turns Boccaccio's bawdy tales into earthy, sun-drenched episodes. Playful, sensual and rude, it celebrates life with non-professional faces and medieval colour.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
