Film on Sunday: Artist's Choice. Pasolini chosen by Liu Wei
Chosen by Liu Wei "The Decameron", directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini (1971, running time: 111'). In the early 1970s, Italian poet, philosopher and film-maker Pier Paolo Pasolini made his most uninhibited and extravagant works. Grouped under the title The Trilogy of Life, they are based on three classics of medieval literature: Boccaccio's The Decameron, Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and the legendary stories from The Thousand and One Nights (also known as Arabian Nights).
