I racconti di Canterbury

Eight tales by Geoffrey Chaucer from the Middle Ages, truculent and bawdy, joyously erotic and occasionally tinged with the supernatural, freely adapted by Pasolini (who plays the English author) in a hymn to life and love, where sexual desire appears in all its natural innocence. Pianist Stefano Battaglia dedicated his ECM double album RE: Pasolini to the world of the filmmaker.
