Iokanaan
Salome is the daughter of the second wife of King Herod. The King is infatuated with her and, after she fails to seduce the prophet John The Baptist, she dances for the King in order to ask for his execution.
Basada en "El Decameron" de Boccaccio. Pasolini recrea con su personal estilo los cuentos eróticos y divertidos de esta obra universal. La película empieza con el cuento de Andreuccio de Perugia que se deja convencer por unos ladrones para quitarle un rubí al cadáver de un arzobispo. Otros cuentos están dedicados a temas licenciosos. Por ejemplo, el de Masetto de Lamporecchio, un hortelano que se finge sordomudo y mentecato para entrar al servicio de las monjas de un convento y experimentar con ellas las delicias del lecho compartido.
