The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series is rich with exotic tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms. Mysterious and liberating, this is an exquisitely dreamlike and adult interpretation of the original folk tales.
(as Joceline Münchenbach)
Historical drama, based upon the novel by Alessandro Manzoni.
Locked up in prison and awaiting execution, bored young vagabonds Bernardino and Mammone pass their time competing in a vulgar storytelling competition, relating indecent accounts about castration, unsavory testicles and an atypical threesome. Not intended for the faint of heart, this audacious piece of moviemaking focuses on tales of jealousy, murder and uncontrollable desires.
Wife of Farinello (segment 'Farinello')
Four stories about unfaithful wives and jealous husbands.
A 16-year-old Sicilian becomes the target of a mafia-hit man after refusing to go through with her prearranged marriage.
