The Decameron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) This movie was written and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, who’s mostly remembered today for ‘Saló’, if he’s remembered at all. In any case, ‘The Decameron’ is based on Boccaccio’s book of the same name (which I haven’t read), and the plot is sort of useless to describe; the movie comprises bunch of different vignettes and follows various people who sleep with each other and do harm to others and make others laugh and what-have-you. The movie is worth watching, though, but be ready for something that might not be for all tastes. www3.sympatico.ca /patrik/decameron.html   (573 words)

DVD Savant Review: The Decameron The original Decameron contained 100 tales, and is one of the first major novels; poet Pasolini has reached back to the classics. Boccaccio's Italia is populated with randy young men and eager young women, all trying to find their way to happiness through sex, while avoiding the condemnation of the church. The trailer is a nondescript UA collage of images which in themselves aren't very striking; The Decameron is one of those pictures whose appeal has to sneak up on one. www.dvdtalk.com /dvdsavant/s661decam.html   (823 words)

CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) Movie critics, a peek at Brad, and your letters. I remember buying a copy of Boccaccio's The Decameron way back when at a used bookstore in Houston as I'd heard it was The Canterbury Tales-lite and started reading it soon thereafter. Most of the adaptations, however, have focused on the sexual aspects, so De Laurentiis is more than likely going to be one of the first straight-ahead adaptations that tries to cover all the stories under one film. www.chud.com /news/july03/july7deca.php3   (566 words)

Review: The Decameron After researching all the praise The Decameron has received, this appears to be another one of those movies that suffers from insider-syndrome - a film that is only good because everyone else says it is. There are snatches of nudity and some of the subject matter may be a little alarming, but this is far from being controversial, or daring. One self-involved movie is just the same as the next. www.moviereviewindex.com /getreview/59142   (340 words)

The film, based on the sexually supercharged tales of Boccaccio, is a patchwork of many of Pasolini's favorite themes.

The Decameron Movie The film is fl-sheep kin to the director's amateur-theatrical take on Scripture, The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964); both films abound in earthy settings framing vivid faces that might have gazed out of a Renaissance painting. Yet where Gospel was searing, The Decameron is perfunctory. All have a very ribald sense of humor and has a surprising amount (for an R rated film) of male and female nudity. www.movie-pages.com /movie/the-decameron/6305079021   (510 words)

The Decameron - Rent on DVD at QwikFliks.com Online DVD Movie Rentals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) Lusty nuns who perform sexual "miracles," a cheating wife with a head for business, a dying con artist attempting a heavenly smile, young lovers caught with their pants down, a servant who loses his head for love and a gullible farmer who tries to turn his wife into a mare. An entry in Pasolini's canon of bringing the bawdy classics to cinema (see ARABIAN NIGHTS, SALO), THE DECAMERON based on the tales of Boccaccio seems dated even in the telling, artier than the early-70s sex romps it inspired, but not altogether thrilling. The director himself is a nice touch as Giotto, and I'm rather haunted by the line, "Why bother to create art when dreaming about it is so much better?" Still, there's a nice balance of crudity and beauty, bawdy humor and religious satire. www.qwikfliks.com /searchfor.asp?Qt=7&gn=2722&role=A   (251 words)
