Os Contos de Canterbury
Johnny the Grace
Segunda parte da Trilogia da Vida do aclamado diretor italiano Pier Paolo Pasolini, o longa é baseado nas obscenas histórias de Geoffrey Chaucer do século XIV. Mergulhando com prazer em alguns dos mais perversos e lascivos contos, Pasolini celebra de forma ardente quase toda forma imaginável de ato sexual com um humor rico, rude e visual mágico. Para completar, Pasolini faz uma representação de inferno que teria deixado Hieronymos Bosch orgulhoso.
